Abstract

Moths have a well-developed sex pheromone communication system. Male moths exhibit an extremely sensitive and selective sex pheromone detection system so that they can detect the sex pheromone produced by conspecific females and locate them for successful mating. Using the pheromone detection system, male moths display characteristic stereotypic behavioral responses, flying upwind to follow intermittent filamentous pheromone strands in pheromone plume. The chemical composition of female sex pheromone in moths, typically comprised of multiple compounds, is species-specific. Male moths contain specialized pheromone receptor neurons on the antennae to detect conspecific sex pheromone accurately, and distinguish it from the pheromones produced by other species. The signals from pheromone receptor neurons are integrated and induce relevant behavior from the male moths. Male moths also contain olfactory sensory neurons in pheromone sensilla, specialized for pheromone-related behavioral antagonist compounds, which can enhance discrimination between conspecific and heterospecific pheromones. Here we review reports on the sex pheromone detection system in male moths and their related responses, and suggest future research direction.

나방은 성페로몬에 대한 통신시스템이 잘 발달되어 있다. 동종의 암컷이 방출하는 성페로몬을 원거리에서 감지하여 암컷을 정확히 찾아가 교미할 수 있도록 하기 위해서, 수컷 나방은 고도로 발달된 성페로몬 감지 시스템을 갖고 있다. 이러한 시스템을 이용해서 수컷 나방은 페로몬 냄새기둥(plume)을 따라 바람을 거슬러 비행하면서 간헐적으로 감지되는 페로몬 냄새가닥(odor filaments)을 추적하는 고정행동양식(stereotypic behavior)을 보인다. 일반적으로 여러 성분으로 구성되는 나방의 암컷 성페로몬은 그 조성이 종특이적(species-specific)이며, 비슷한 성분을 공유하는 유사종들이 방출하는 성페로몬과 동종의 암컷이 방출하는 성페로몬을 정확히 구분하기 위해서 수컷 나방은 촉각에 여러 종류의 고도로 특화된 페로몬 감각세포들을 갖고 있어서, 이들이 페로몬을 감지할 때 나오는 신경 신호들을 종합해서 동종의 페로몬을 인식하여 행동반응이 일어나게 된다. 수컷 나방은 보통 동종의 페로몬 성분뿐만 아니라 유사종이 사용하는 페로몬 성분들을 특이적으로 감지하는 길항적(antagonistic) 냄새감각세포들도 갖고 있어서 페로몬 식별력을 강화한다. 본 종설에서는 지금까지 보고된 수컷 나방의 페로몬 감지 시스템과 이와 연관된 수컷의 감각기 및 행동반응에 대한 연구 결과들을 정리하고, 이를 종합하여 앞으로의 연구 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
