Abstract:		"In a laboratory wind tunnel, upwind flight and close-range orientation to a pheromone source by maleC. occidentalis were facilitated by the addition of the secondary componentsE/Z11-tetradecen-1-ol acetate (89ratio11) andE/Z11-tetradecen-1-ol (85ratio15) to low source concentrations of the primary components,E/Z11-tetradecenal (92ratio8). Male responses to the blends tested never equalled their responses to virgin females. The primary components alone, when released at a rate similar to that of a 'calling' female, never elicited male upwind flight or source location. However, the addition of the secondary components enhanced these behavioral sequences"
