From: Physiological and molecular correlates of the screwworm fly attraction to wound and animal odors
Antennal response by the primary (C. hominivorax) and secondary (C. macellaria) screwworm flies to components of swormlure-4. (a) Benzoic acid elicited a significantly larger response from male C. hominivorax compared to unmated females, while phenol elicited a larger response from unmated females compared to mated females. Significance (indicated by different letters above the columns in (a, b) based on one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hock tests (p < 0.05). (b) 2-Butanol elicited a smaller response in mated female C. macellaria, while dimethyl disulfide elicited a larger response from mated compared to unmated females. Valeric acid elicited a larger response from unmated females compared to males. (c) Principal component analysis based on the antennal responses largely separated C. hominivorax and C. macellaria. (d) Species were significantly different based on Mann–Whitney rank sum test of PC1 component scores.
