| description | The occurrrence of a genital sex pheromone in the anterior reproductive tract of partially fed female Dermacentor varibilis was demonstrated by extraction and bioassay. A new type of bioassay, the "neutered" female assay, was developed to test the potency of extracts or chemically defined fractions to stimulate males to copulate. Electrophysiological tests confirmed the ability of males to detect the pheromone with sensilla on their cheliceral digits. Males of both D. variabilis and D. andersoni exhibited neuronal excitation when stimulate with extracts of the D. variabilis reproductive tissues. The pheromone, which is soluble in methanol, was fractionated and found to contain at least two fractions that stimulated copulation by sexually excited males. Evidently, the pheromone is a mixture of two or more compounds. Histologic, ultrastructural, and histochemical studies suggest the vestibular vagina as the site of genital sex pheromone occurrence, presumably from secretions of the surrounding lobular accessory gland. |
