Figure 6

Differences in OR mediated odorant receptivity between An. gambiae and An. quadriannulatus antennae. Vertical axis represents computed, interspecific differences in antennal receptivity to a panel of odors. Displayed results are sorted left to right based upon the level of each odor’s relative receptivity enhancement in either An. gambiae (positive values) or An. quadriannulatus (negative values). The grey region around zero denotes an absolute change in relative receptivity of 10% or less. Chemical names are color coded by chemical class and asterisks denote chemical classes whose receptivity is disproportionately represented in one species (Fishers Exact Test, p<0.05). Red points denote odors that have been detected in human-associated skin emanations.
