Notes: 9(Z)-Tricosene is a pheromone released by insects, including D. melanogaster, M. domestica (house fly), and A. mellifera L. (honey bee).{34326,34327,34328} In Drosophila, it induces aggregation behavior and is an oviposition guidance cue for females.{34326} Due to its aggregation-inducing activity, it is used as a bait pesticide to attract insects to traps.{34325} The mechanism of action in Drosophila is the activation of antennal basiconic Or7a receptors.{34326} It is also highly produced by honey bees during the waggle dance, which is a complex communication process used to alert nest-mates of the location and profitability of a food source.{34327} When injected into a hive, 9(Z)-tricosene induced foraging behavior.
