2023 journal article
A mosaic of endogenous and plant-derived courtship signals in moths
CURRENT BIOLOGY, 33(16).
TL;DR:
It is shown that two olfactory receptors in female antennae are tuned to MeSA, which facilitates female acceptance of the male, and males appear to exploit the female's preadapted sensory bias in courtship.

Experimental evidence for female mate choice in a noctuid moth
ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 179, 1–13.
author keywords: courtship behaviour; female mate choice; pheromone; sexual selection; Chloridea (Helothis) virescers
TL;DR:
It is observed that females determined the outcome of courtship by moving away from the male (avoidance) or by facilitating copulation with an abdominal bend (acceptance), and it is discovered that tactile sensory stimuli may be involved during courtship.

Proximity of signallers can maintain sexual signal variation under stabilizing selection
Scientific Reports, 7(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Female; Male; Mating Preference, Animal / physiology; Moths; Sex Attractants / physiology; Sexual Behavior, Animal / physiology
TL;DR:
This work proposes and test a “proximity model” wherein two females that vary in their relative attractiveness to males, can both benefit from calling in close proximity to each other, and proposes that frequency-dependent behavioural and spatial interactions can sustain signal variation within populations even when these signals are under stabilizing selection.

Experimental evidence for chemical mate guarding in a moth
Scientific Reports, 6(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Fertility; Male; Mating Preference, Animal; Moths; Pheromones; Sex Attractants; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR:
This work tested the hypothesis that the male sex pheromone in the noctuid moth Heliothis virescens perfumes the female and functions as an anti-aphrodisiac, and found that virgin females perfumed with male phermone extract mated significantly less than control virgin females, and this effect persisted for two successive nights.

Within-population variability in a moth sex pheromone blend: genetic basis and behavioural consequences
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281(1779), 20133054.
author keywords: Lepidoptera; Heliothis virescens; quantitative trait locus analysis; delta-11-desaturase; balancing selection; heterozygote advantage
MeSH headings : Animals; Genetic Variation; Inbreeding; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Moths / genetics; Moths / metabolism; Moths / physiology; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / genetics; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR:
A model in which the QTL is a trans-acting repressor of delta-11 desaturase expression explains many features of the data, and selection favouring heterozygotes which produce more unsaturated components could maintain a polymorphism at this locus.

2009 review
GEOGRAPHIC AND TEMPORAL VARIATION IN MOTH CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION
[Review of ]. EVOLUTION, 63(8), 1987–2003.
Contributors: n, O. Inglis n, S. Bowdridge n, R. Santangelo n, C. Blanco *, J. Lopez *, A. Vargas*, F. Gould n , C. Schal n
author keywords: Experience; female sex pheromone; Heliothis subflexa; Heliothis virescens; male response; phenotypic plasticity; selection
MeSH headings : Animal Communication; Animals; Female; Male; Mexico; Moths / chemistry; Moths / metabolism; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / metabolism; United States
TL;DR:
The pattern of temporal variation within populations suggests that optimization of the pheromonal signal also may be driven by within-generation physiological adjustments by the moths in response to their experience of the local chemical environment.

Quantitative Trait Locus analysis by hybridizing two noctuid moth species and backcrossing the F(1) females to males of both parental species reveals new QTL, which implicates several candidate genes in the divergence of these premating signals.

Paternity Allocation in a Mutant Heliothis virescens Colony
SOUTHWESTERN ENTOMOLOGIST, 33(4), 253–263.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that regardless of the order in which moths mated, wild-type sperm had potential superior competitiveness and therefore, sperm precedence is not the main driving force behind the paternity allocation mechanism in this strain of tobacco budworm.

Differential attraction of Heliothis subflexa males to synthetic pheromone lures in eastern US and western Mexico
JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, 33(2), 353–368.
author keywords: sexual communication; pheromone; pheromone component; geographic variation; acetate esters; 16-carbon alcohol; 14-carbon aldehydes; dose-response; minimal blend; complete blend
MeSH headings : Acetates / chemistry; Animal Communication; Animals; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Male; Mexico; Moths; Sex Attractants / chemical synthesis; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / pharmacology; Sexual Behavior, Animal; United States
TL;DR:
The mate attraction signal of Heliothis subflexa (Hs) females consists of a multicomponent sex pheromone blend, and it is indicated that the addition of Z9-16:OAc alone does not increase attraction of male Hs, while Z11-16-OAc does.

Experimental evidence for interspecific directional selection on moth pheromone communication
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 103(15), 5858–5863.
Contributors: n, J. Horovitz n, J. Hamilton n, R. Santangelo n, C. Schal n & F. Gould n

MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Genotype; Male; Moths / genetics; Moths / physiology; Phenotype; Pheromones / physiology; Regression Analysis; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR:
It is quantitatively estimate that the directional selection exerted by Hv males on Hs females to produce relatively high amounts of acetates can range from 0.135 to 0.231, which may counteract intraspecific stabilizing selection that impedes evolutionary changes in pheromone blends and could lead to diversification of sexual signals.

Effect of PBAN on pheromone production by mated Heliothis virescens and Heliothis subflexa females
JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, 31(1), 14–28.
author keywords: Heliothis virescens; Heliothis subflexa; sex pheromone; PBAN; temporal variation
MeSH headings : Animals; Exocrine Glands / metabolism; Female; Moths / physiology; Neuropeptides / administration & dosage; Oviposition; Pheromones / biosynthesis; Seasons; Sex Attractants / biosynthesis
TL;DR:
Because the temporal variation in pheromone blend composition was greater for virgin females than for PBAN-injected females, PBAN can be used to determine a female’s native pherOMone phenotype.

TL;DR:
Genetic crosses between Heliothis virescens and H. subflexa moths were conducted and AFLP marker‐based mapping of backcross families was used to determine which of the 30 autosomes in these moths contained quantitative trait loci controlling the proportion of specific chemical components in the pheromone blends.

Male and female antennal responses in Heliothis virescens and H subflexa to conspecific and heterospecific sex pheromone compounds
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 34(2), 256–263.
author keywords: Heliothis virescens; Heliothis subflexa; electroantennogram; species specificity; female autodetection
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that autodetection of sex pheromones occurs in females of both H. virescens and H. subflexa is supported, although whether females behaviorally respond to any, or to combinations, of these compounds remains to be elucidated.
