Scientists have discovered a new evolutionary mechanism: A single amino acid change in a female moth enzyme is responsible for the production of new sex pheromones. The susceptibility of desaturases to major shifts in their specificities, due to minor mutations, may contribute to the divergence in moth pheromone communication and the evolution of new insect species.
