Figure 3From: Effects of immunostimulation on social behavior, chemical communication and genome-wide gene expression in honey bee workers (Apis mellifera)Effects of immunostimulation on the absolute quantities of cuticular hydrocarbons. Discriminant analysis was used to determine if there were significant differences in the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of control, saline-, bead- and bacteria-injected individuals, based on absolute quantity of each compound. There were significant differences across all treatments F(51, 102)=4.32; p<0.0001.Back to article page
