components with individual compositions. Linear terpenes dominate, either as esters or as long, regular linear isoprene-oligomers. The high chemical diversity is reflected within the many different mimicry patterns of these butterflies. The compounds were identified by a combination of various methods, including synthesis, which allowed to unravel the underlying biosynthetic pathways used to arrive at these
雄性Heliconius erato的气味腺含有多达 350 种成分,具有单独的成分。线性萜烯以酯或长的、规则的线性异戊二烯-低聚物形式占主导地位。这些蝴蝶的许多不同的模仿模式反映了高度的化学多样性。这些化合物是通过多种方法(包括合成)的组合来鉴定的,它可以揭示用于获得这些化合物束的潜在生物合成途径。
