Abstract
Both yellow (crowded) and non-yellow (isolated) mature males of Schistocerca gregaria are equally capable of accelerating the sexual maturation and inducing integumental yellowing in immature adult males. The bioassay of a mature male extract shows conclusively the presence of the maturation-accelerating pheromone in this species. The pheromone does not appear to be effective in inducing yellowing, or in initiating the vibration reaction, in immature males.
