Title: | High conservatism in the composition of scent gland secretions in cyphophthalmid harvestmen: Evidence from Pettalidae | Authors: | Raspotnig G. Schwab J. Karaman, I. |
Issue Date: | 1-Apr-2012 | Journal: | Journal of Chemical Ecology | Abstract: | The scent gland secretion of Austropurcellia forsteri was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, providing the first description of the secretion chemistry in the cyphophthalmid family Pettalidae. The secretion contained a total of 21 compounds: About 60% of the whole secretion consisted of a series of saturated, mono-unsaturated and doubly unsaturated methylketones, from C 11 to C 15, with a cluster of saturated and mono-unsaturated C 13-methylketones dominating. A second fraction included several naphthoquinones such as 1,4-naphthoquinone (ca. 20% of secretion), 6-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (ca. 17%), and minor amounts of chloronaphthoquinones (ca. 2%). When compared with scent gland compositions of other representatives of cyphophthalmids (e. g. from families Sironidae and Stylocellidae), a highly conservative chemistry of cyphophthalmid secretions is apparent, based on a restricted number of methylketones and naphthoquinones. © The Author(s) 2012. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/10696 | ISSN: | 00980331 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10886-012-0108-8 |
