Changes in the Hydrocarbon Proportions of Colony Odor and Their Consequences on Nestmate Recognition in Social Wasps
Figure 3
The proportions of branched alkanes and linear alkenes in A) foundresses, B) usurpers, C) control nests and D) usurped nests.
Bars are mean (± E.S.) of proportions. The asterisks indicate the three peaks whose increases in usurped nests might have strong consequences on worker discrimination abilities (see text).
