Main Types of Insect Pheromones Alarm Pheromones Trail Pheromones Queen Mandibular Pheromones – (specifically in honey
bees) Sex Pheromones

Pheromones in D. melanogaster 11 – Cis Vaccenyl Acetate
Only Known Pheromone in Drosophila Secreted from the Males through Ejaculation Induce Aggregation Behavior in Drosophila Known to have an Inducing Affect on Both
Males and Females

Literature Review 1
Pingxi Xu, 2005 Reinitiate Effect of 11
– Cis Vaccenyl Acetate on Drosophila by adding Protein to Food Cultures
Insensitivity to 11 – Cis Vaccenyl Acetate
Inactivity of trichoid neurons in Drosophila
Literature Review 2
Ha and Smith, 2006 Locate the Sensilla in
the Antennae missing for 11 – Cis Vaccenyl Acetate detection
Receptors – T1Sensilla, T1 neurons responsible for sensitivity
Literature Review 3
Kruse, Zhao, Smith and Jones, 2003 Found Alcohol attraction
in Lush Flies due to Protein Binding to Alcohol
Hydroxyl group of alcohol forms hydrogen bonds to the amino acids of the Lush Protein
