Abstract

Chemical analyses of two necrophagous flies revealed six shared compounds (mainly acids) deposited on substrate by larvae. Synomone activity was experimented using behavioural tests on both species. Shared acids only slightly influence larval behaviour, while another candidate compound ((Z)-9-tricosene) was either retentive for Calliphora vomitoria or repulsive for Lucilia sericata depending on concentrations. The retentive effect of the (Z)-9-tricosene suggests that this well-known pheromone in arthropods (also presents in C. vicina) could act as a synomone in blow flies, eliciting interspecific aggregation.
