摘要：

1. 1. The xerophilous harvester ant Veromessor pergandei produces primarily benzaldehyde in its mandibular glands. 2. 2. This aldehyde, not isolated previously from insects, functions as an effective defensive secretion. 3. 3. A minor constituent, produced by the mandibular glands, functions as a releaser of alarm behavior. © 1969.
