  1. †z values from Mann-Whitney U tests examine subspecies differences in the relative amount of each peak, expressed as a proportion of all central MUPs expressed in each sample (median values in square brackets, full data shown in Fig. 6), for mass peaks that were observed in samples from both sub-species. Contingency chi-squared test the frequency of expression (presence/absence) where a mass peak was observed in samples from one subspecies but not in the other subspecies. Presence was recorded only for peaks that were 5% or more of the highest peak in the profile to ensure this reflected real expression rather than baseline noise (% samples meeting this criterion shown in parentheses).
  2. ‡n.d. = not detected in samples from either subspecies. *P values that would still be statistically significant after sequential Bonferroni adjustment.
