Experimental evidence for interspecific directional selection on moth pheromone communication.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

The chemical composition of the sexual communication signals of female moths is thought to be under strong stabilizing selection, because females that produce atypical pheromone blends suffer lower success in finding mates. This intraspecific selection pressure cannot explain the high diversity of moth pheromone blends found in nature. We conducted experiments to determine whether communication interference from...
