    Notes: Abstract Environmental factors more common in twins than singletons appear to be disadvantageous with respect to intelligence. If these factors contribute to within-pair differences in IQ, the effect should be found more in the cotwin lower in IQ (the low twin) than in the cotwin higher in IQ (the high twin). In this case, the variance of the low twins should exceed that of the high twins. This hypothesis was tested for five samples of monozygotic (MZ) twins and three samples of dizygotic (DZ) twins but was confirmed only for the MZ samples. These results suggest that there are disadvantageous environmental factors unique to MZ twins which contribute to within-pair variability. Such factors will cause heritability coefficients obtained using MZ twins to be underestimated.

    Notes: Abstract Estimated true scores are occasionally used to provide an estimate of scores which would be obtained if measurement error could be removed from fallible measures. When one knows only a test's relibility and an observed score for each subject, true scores are estimated by regressing observed scores toward the group mean. When relatives' observed scores are also available, estimates of true scores can be improved by using the additional information. Observed scores of subjects and relatives can be used as predictors of subjects' true scores in a multiple regression. The resulting formula is presented for the case in which only one relative's score per subject is known. Estimation of true scores for the general case ofN relatives per subject is also discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A 6,9-nonadecadiene, (Z)-9-nonadecene, andn-nonadecane were identified in extracts of sex pheromone glands of femaleSabulodes caberata Guenée. Potential pheromonal activity of gland components was assessed by electroantennogram measurements of gas-chromatographic fractions of abdominal tip extracts. Chemical identification was based on gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of parent compounds, hydrogenation products, ozonolysis products, dimethyl disulfide adducts, and synthesis. The monoene was synthesized via coupling of alkyl and acetylenic intermediates. (Z,Z)-6,9-Nonadecadiene (Z6,Z9-19∶H) was synthesized from methyl linoleate via chain lengthening. SyntheticZ6,Z9-19∶H had the same retention times on polar and nonpolar capillary gas-chromatographic columns as the 6,9-nonadecadiene from the sex pheromone glands. In field testsZ6,Z9-19:H alone produced trap catch of maleS. caberata and addition of (Z)-9-nonadecene orn-nonadecane had no effect on trap catch.

    Notes: Abstract The most effective lure for maleAmorbia cuneana (Walsingham) in Orange, Ventura, and Riverside counties of California was previously found to be a 1∶1 ratio of (E,E)-10,12- and (E,Z)-10,12-tetradecadien-1-ol acetates. In subsequent field tests in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties, this lure was ineffective. Analysis of sex pheromone glands (SPG) of femaleA. cuneana from these two counties showed theEE:EZ ratio to be about 1∶9 and synthetic lures of this composition were highly attractive in these areas. Analysis of the SPG of a number of females from both areas showed that there were three population types: two in the low ratio areas possessed 37 and 58%EZ, and the third in the high ratio areas possessed 89%EZ.

    Notes: Abstract The major volatile components in the extract of the female sex pheromone gland ofAmorbia cuneana consisted of (E,E)- and (E,Z)-10,12-tetradecadien-1-ol acetates. The identification was based on electroantennogram bioassay of gas Chromatographic effluent from sex pheromone gland extract, relative retention times on polar and nonpolar gas chromatographic columns, chemical degradation (ozonolysis, saponification), mass spectrometry, chemical synthetic methods, and field tests. Based on mass spectrometry and retention times by capillary gas chromatography, traces of (E)-10-tetradecen-1-ol acetate and 1-tetradecanol acetate were also present in the extract. Traps baited with a combination of synthetic (E,E)- and (E,Z)-10,12-tetradecadien-1-ol acetates caught more males than did traps baited with females.
