Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
25 words
A composition for attracting Ambrosia beetles of the genus Trypodendron, comprising lineatin and ethanol in a combined amount which is effective to attract the beetles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
25 words
A composition for attracting Ambrosia beetles of the genus Trypodendron, comprising lineatin and ethanol in a combined amount which is effective to attract the beetles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the relative amounts of the lineatin and ethanol in the composition are such that, under the conditions in which the composition is used to attract the beetles, the lineatin and ethanol will both become fully depleted at approximately the same time.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A composition according to claim 1, further comprising a terpene selected from the group consisting of α-pinene, β-pinene and myrcene, the combined amount of the lineatin, ethanol and terpene being effective to attract the beetles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A composition according to claim 3, wherein the relative amounts of the lineatin, ethanol and terpene in the composition are such that, under the conditions in which the composition is used to attract the beetles, the lineatin, ethanol and terpene will all become fully depleted at approximately the same time.
