Relative proportions of compounds found in mandibular glands of queens inseminated with different volumes and substances.

The mean ± SE is shown for the raw data, but to meet the assumptions of the ANOVA the data for HOB, Unk 4, 10HDAA, HVA, tetradecanoic acid, decanedioic acid, Unk 13 and octadecanoic acid were arcsine square root transformed prior to statistical analysis. Statistical differences in the relative proportions of each individual compound across the three groups of queens were determined using an ANOVA with treatment as the main factor. Post hoc analysis was performed with a Tukey's HSD all pairs comparison and different letters annotate significant differences between groups.# = compound number, Unk = unknown. Retention times and the information on m/z and intensities of the ten most abundant ions for all unknown compounds are available in Table S4 and fragmentation patterns for all of the compounds are available in Figure S2.
