全面概述雄性昆虫性信息素的研究进展。主要从性信息素的释放机制及其作用、已发现的雄性昆虫性信息素及其化学结构进行阐述。通过不同部位释放的雄性昆虫性信息素种类是多样的,但其化学结构的差异又是细微的,雄性昆虫则利用这些差异来引诱雌性昆虫、促进交配和生殖隔离等。最后对雄性昆虫性信息素的研究作了展望。
This paper summarized the research advance on male insect sex pheromones, including the identified pheromones, their structure and function, releasing mechanism, and so on. Male insect pheromones are released from different parts of male insect bodies, and they arc belonged to many kinds of chemicals. Pheromones of conspecific male insects are usually belonged to the same type chemical, while the chemical structures are different. However, male insects can utilize the little difference to attract female insects, urge the copulating and prevent interspecific mating, etc. Finally a prospect on the future research of male sex pheromone was given.
