Description:
Male Lasioglossum (Dialictus) zephyrum in the field are attracted to models impregnated with the odor of virgin females. The number of males responding increases with increasing odor concentration. Once a male has contacted a model, its attractiveness to other males is reduced, suggesting that the male may contribute an antiaphrodisiac cue so that other males avoid mated females.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kukuk, P -- 1-F32-MH08722-01/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Feb 8;227(4687):656-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3969557" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
