    Notes: Abstract A simple, fast, and sensitive technique has been developed for collecting airborne pheromones with potential application to a live and free-moving single insect. The surface within a disposable glass (Pasteur) pipet is sufficient to trap low nanogram quantities of sex pheromones, and molecules sensitive to oxidation such as (Z)-9-tetradecenal and (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate are not significantly degraded during the chosen periods of aerial trapping. Rapid measurements of blend ratios for synthetic pheromone mixtures and detection at the low picogram level have been achieved by GC-MS.

    Notes: Abstract The airborne sex pheromone components (Z,E)-9,12-tetradeca-dien-1-yl acetate and (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-y1 acetate from single calling females ofEphestia cautella (Walker) were trapped within glass capillary tubes and were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Broad and similar distributions of relative quantities were found for a laboratory strain and three Australian field strains, and means differed strongly from those reported previously for this species. The overall mean proportion of the two components found for Australian females was 88∶12. The composition in individuals ranged from 63∶27 to 97∶3. The proportions for individuals appeared to vary slightly in a random fashion from day to day, and proportions for first-generation progeny were influenced by the maternal blend.
