Geranial: the alarm pheromone in the nymphal stage of the oribatid mite, Nothrus palustris (original) (raw)

Journal of chemical ecology, 2002

Abstract

The presence of an alarm pheromone was demonstrated in the deutonymphal stage of the oribatid mite, Nothruspalustris (C. L. Koch). The active principle was identified as 3,7-dimethyl-(E)-2,6-octadienal, geranial, and was shown to be active at doses of 10-100 ng. This is the first such pheromone identified in oribatid mites.
