Description: Expulsion of anal fluid from the upturned abdomen was demonstrated to serve a defensive function in the thrips Bagnalliella yuccae. An allomone in the anal exudate was identified as gamma-decalactone, a fruity-smelling compound that repelled potential predators. Chemical defenses may contribute to the ability of thrips to maintain large aggregations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Howard, D F -- Blum, M S -- Fales, H M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Apr 15;220(4594):335-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17732921" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
