Functional flexibility as a prelude to signal diversity? Role of a fatty acyl reductase in moth pheromone evolution <subtitle>Role of a fatty acyl reductase in moth pheromone evolution</subtitle>
Sex pheromones are the hallmark of reproductive behavior in moths. Mature females perform the task of mate signaling and release bouquets of odors that attract conspecific males at long range. The pheromone chemistry follows a relatively minimal design but still the combinatorial action of a handful...
