Open-field Y-shape trail-following bioassays with (3Z,6Z)-dodeca-3,6-dien-1-ol exposed O. formosanus workers.

(3Z)-Dodec-3-en-1-ol (DOE) or (3Z,6Z)-dodeca-3,6-dien-1-ol (DDE) can be applied in the base and/or in one of the branches at the same concentration. The same protocol was used as in footnote of Table 3. ≥ DDE base indicated the number of termites following a trail longer than the base and making a choice between the two branches. Significance of DDE base was the statistical comparison between the number of workers going further than the base and the total number of workers tested. Significance of arm was the statistical comparison between the number of termites choosing one or the other branch.
