Lepidopterous larvae ( Manduca sexta and Heliothis zea ) and aphids ( Aphis gossypii ) died when confined on 2-tridecanone-treated filter paper. }, number={4433}, journal={SCIENCE}, author={WILLIAMS, WG and KENNEDY, GG and YAMAMOTO, RT and THACKER, JD and BORDNER, J}, year={1980}, pages={888–889} }
