Abstract In south-central British Columbia, the attraction ofIps latidens (LeConte) to its pheromone, ipsenol, was inhibited by (S)−(+)-ipsdienol, a pheromone forI. pini (Say). (R)-(−)−lpsdienol had no effect onI. latidens. (S)−(+)-lpsdienol probably plays a role in interspecific communication between the two species, facilitating reductions in interspecific competition for breeding material and/or interspecific mating interference.
