	abstract = {Using techniques that were developed for the concentration and analysis of airborne organic volatiles, methyl salicylate and 1,4-benzoquinone were found to be the only two compounds present in detectable quantities in the effluvium of Oniticellus egregius. These two compounds, previously identified in the defensive secretions of other arthropods, are presumed to be produced as a defense mechanism against predators, such as birds. Methyl salicylate and 1,4- benzoquinone have thus far not been found to occur in other Scarabaeinae.},

	abstract = {Usinggas chromatography with flame ionization detection (FID) and electroantennographic detection (EAD) in parallel, butanoic acid, skatole, and (E)-2,6-dimethyl-6-octen-2-ol were identified as constituents of the abdominal sex-attracting secretion of the male dung beetle, Kheper subaeneus, which reproducibly elicited EAD responses in male and female antennae. This is the first report of the occurrence of (E)- 2,6-dimethyl-6-octen-2-ol as a natural product, for which the name (E)-subaeneol is proposed. In some experiments, a few other constituents of the secretion also gave reproducible responses in specific male and female antennae but did not elicit responses when the analyses were repeated with other antennae. The major volatile constituent of the secretion, identified as (S)-(C)-2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenoic acid, is one of these EAD-active compounds. Both this compound and (E)-2,6- dimethyl-6-octen-2-ol were synthesized from authentic starting materials for comparison with the natural products.},
