Fig. 8

Box plots of the relative abundances of alkenes in bees treated with dsRNA of fatty acid desaturases (GB40659, GB42218, GB48195, GB51238; purple) or dsRNA of GFP (control; grey). Asterisks indicate statistically significant abundance differences between the two groups (RNAi treated vs. control) after Holm-Bonferroni correction for multiple (N = 10) testing (Welch’s t-test/Wilcoxon signed-rank test: p ≤ 0.05 [*], p ≤ 0.01 [**]).
