Sex pheromone analogues were synthesized and tested on two pest carposinid moth species: the guava moth, , and the raspberry bud moth, . The pheromone analogues used for the electroantennogram testing included ()-11-methylenenonadec-7-ene, ()-nonadec-12-en-9-amine, ()-11-methoxynonadec-7-ene, ()-1-(octylsulfinyl)-dec-3-ene, and ()-nonadec-12-en-9-ol. An imine analogue, -(()-nonadec-12-en-9-ylidene)cyclopropanamine, was also synthesized but was too unstable for testing with the moths.

New Zealand apple exports must meet strict phytosanitary measures to eliminate codling moth (Cydia pomonella Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) larval infestation. This study was part of a program attempting the localized eradication of codling moth within an isolated cluster of seven orchards (391 ha). A conventional management program of insecticide sprays and pheromone mating disruption was supplemented with weekly releases of sterile moths for 1-6 yr.

ADAPTIL, a dog-appeasing pheromone, was shown to modify the dam-puppies' interactions during the neonatal period but could also influence the weaning period. Fourteen bitch/litter dyads continuously exposed to ADAPTIL from the third/fourth weeks until the seventh/eighth weeks postpartum were compared to 11 dyads exposed to a placebo. Maternal and puppy behaviours were video-recorded, and at three time points (weeks three/four, weeks five/six and weeks seven/eight) after parturition.

A range of ester pheromone analogues for carposinid moths were synthesized and evaluated for biological activity. The analogues aimed to take advantage of the structural commonality of (7)-alken-11-ones found in this family. Analogues were tested on two pest species: and .

Heterocrossa rubophaga, the raspberry bud moth, is a pest of commercial Rubus berry crops and wild Rubus species. Its pheromone was initially identified as a single component, (7Z)-nonadecen-11-one. Here we report further investigation of this carposinid pheromone including volatile collection, gland extraction, mass spectrometry, microchemical analysis, electrophysiology and field testing.
