Abstract:		"Adult Tribolium confusum, deprived of food for 6 days, were confronted with (1) a choice between fresh flour and flour conditioned by male conspecifics and (2) a choice between fresh flour and flour conditioned by female conspecifics. Both sexes, whether in mixed groups or in unisexual groups, preferred flour conditioned by males to fresh flour but showed no preference between fresh flour and flour conditioned by females. It was shown that there is an olfactory basis for the attraction of adult T. confusum to flour conditioned by male conspecifics, suggesting that a male-produced pheromone is involved"
