Various tetradecadienyl acetate compounds serve as insect mating pheromones especially among[1] the Pyralidae. These include:
- (Z,E)-3,5-tetradecadienyl acetate — Prionoxystus robiniaea mating attractant[2]: 41
- (E,E)-3,5-tetradecadienyl acetate — Accosus centerensis mating attractant[2]: 41
- (Z,E)-4,8-tetradecadienyl acetate — Borkhausenia schefferella mating attractant[2]: 41
- (Z,Z)-7,11-tetradecadienyl acetate — Conistra vaccinii mating attractant[2]: 41
- (Z,E)-9,11-tetradecadienyl acetate (abbr. Z9,E11-14:Ac) — Spodoptera littoralis[3][2]: 41 and S. litura[2]: 41 mating attractant and mating inhibitor.[2]: 41 Female pheromone, lures males.[4] Used by McVeigh and Bettany 1986 and Downham et al., 1995 over the course of three years in a 99:1 with (E,E)-10,12-tetradecadienyl acetate.[4] Although they achieved good mating disruption this did not result in lower egg mass or population.[4] The results of Campion et al., 1980 suggest that may be due to the need for other, minor female volatiles.[4] Martinez et al., 1993 study control of its synthesis in S. littoralis by hormones, finding that the reduction step may be controlled by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide.[3]
- (Z,Z)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate — Plodia interpunctella mating inhibitor[2]: 41
- (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate (abbr. Z9,E12-14:Ac)[5] — In 2006 the United States Environmental Protection Agency granted[6] an exemption to permit use without regard to the residue on resulting food.[5] This is thought to be the first registration for indoor use in the United States of any sex pheromone to disrupt mating.[5] Produced by species:
- Adoxophyes fasciata synergistic attractant[2]: 41
- Anagasta kuehniella[1] mating attractant produced by both male and female[2]: 41
- Cadra cautella[1] female-produced mating attractant and mating inhibitor[2]: 41 (found by Kuwahara et al., 1971)[1]
- C. figulilella[1] female-produced mating attractant[2]
- Elasmopalpus lignosellus mating disruptor[2]
- Ephestia elutella[1] mating attractant[2]
- Plodia interpunctella (also by Kuwahara 1971)[1]
