Fire ant trail pheromones: Analysis of species specificity after gas chromatographic fractionation
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The specificity of the trail pheromones of four Solenopsis species was determined using natural trails, and purified fractions from Dufour's gland extracts collected after gas-chromatographic separation, to find that S. richteri and S. invicta possess species-specific major trail phersomones.
