From: Foragers of sympatric Asian honey bee species intercept competitor signals by avoiding benzyl acetate from Apis cerana alarm pheromone

Figure 2

Antennae of foragers from all three bee species (A. cerana, A. dorsata, and A. florea) are highly sensitive to BA. (A) GC-EAD responses to the HS-SPME extracts of dissected A. cerana stings (1 eq). Relative abundances of each compound and representative EAD signals for each bee species are shown. (B) Responses of antennae (EAG) to different quantities of BA EAG (Ctrl = solvent only). The bar (*) indicates quantities that elicited significantly higher responses as compared to the control (Dunnett’s test, P < 0.01). Means and standard errors are shown. The inset photo shows the antennal preparation.
