Lipases and carboxylesterases affect moth sex pheromone compounds involved in interspecific mate recognition
Abstract Moth sex pheromones are a classical model for studying sexual selection. Females typically produce a species-specific pheromone blend that attracts males. Revealing the enzymes involved in the interspecific variation in blend composition is key for understanding the evolution of these sexua...
