VOC expression in relation to social status. OPLS-DA scores plots of social status before (a,b) and during the enclosures (c,d) based on the full MS-data (a,c) and the candidate MS-data (b,d) derived from denatured male urine (n = 23).The x-axis of the scores plot is the predictive component (t1) and the y-axis is the first orthogonal component (to1). Data points for dominant (black) and subordinates (light gray) are labelled D and S, respectively. The boxplots show differential expression of HMH and 4-methyl-6-hepten-3-one (e and f, respectively) in intact urine for dominant (D) and subordinate (S; dark and light gray, respectively) males and females (lattice; n = 24) at both enclosure phases. Different letters above the boxplots denote significant differences.
