Abstract:		"Repeatability, a measure of the proportion of variance in a character that occurs among rather than within individuals, is assessed for the phenotypic trait of female response preference for enantiomeric blends of ipsdienol inIps pini at two pheromone concentrations-1 microg and 5 mug of ipsdienol. Average female response shows greater repeatability at the higher pheromone dosage when females are tested in two successive sets of five assays than when assayed in three successive sets or at the lower dosage. Repeatability within each set of five assays is highest for the first set and decreases thereafter. Thus the response phenotype of females for enantiomeric blends of ipsdienol in this experiment is context dependent; female choice of an enantiomeric blend differed between dosages and among sets of assays"
