Male sex pheromones are highly species-specific and can therefore help in taxonomic categorization or in species recognition. Previous research has demonstrated the multi-component nature of the pheromones and showed that and share some pheromone components, but Ceratitis rosa Ceratitis anonae are also characterized by certain species-specific substances. At the upcoming meeting we will report on the composition of the male pheromone in Like in and male sex pheromone in Ceratitis fasciventris. C. rosa C. anonae, C. fasciventris is multi-component with shared and specific substances.

Gomulski, Francesca Scolari, Marco Falchetto, Mosè Manni. Abstract: Our aim is the identification and characterization of species and sex-specific sequences: - to determine the intra/inter-population diversity, the species range/shift, and the indigenous or invasive status of newly observed outbreaks. - to provide insides into genes/expressions that could be associated with barriers to gene flow. Our attention has been addressed to to and to Bactrocera dorsalis ss, Anastrepha fraterculus Ceratitis capitata:
