Abstract Racemicezo-brevicomin, racemic frontalin, and myrcene were released at two proportions (5∶1∶400 and 1∶1∶1), each at three levels (1 ×, 10 ×, and 100 ×) in a ponderosa pine forest in central California. The 5∶1∶400 mix was based on an estimate of the relative amounts released from a ponderosa pine under attack by the western pine beetle,Dendroctonus brevicomis. MoreD. brevicomis were trapped at a source of the three compounds released at 5∶1∶400 than were trapped at a source released at 1∶1∶1, at all three levels, but this difference was statistically significant only at the 1 × and 10 × levels. Sex ratio of trapped beetles and distribution of catch at the source of attractant and 5 m away apparently did not differ between relative release rates.
