Table 1. Vibration signal performance and arousal: overlap of genes regulated in vibration signal performers and bees exposed to different pheromones.

V+↑ (412) V+↓ (491) χ2 and p-values
Alarm pheromone ↑ (237) 22 [32%] 12 [17%] χ2 = 10.65
Alarm pheromone ↓ (201) 8 [12%] 27 [39%] p<0.005
Queen mandibular pheromone ↑ (374) 15 [21%] 25 [35%] χ2 = 7.11
Queen mandibular pheromone ↓ (323) 23 [32%] 9 [13%] p<0.01
Brood pheromone ↑ (122) 14 [27%] 8 [16%] χ2 = 1.10
Brood pheromone ↓ (106) 13 [26%] 16 [32%] p = 0.29

Number and direction of expression (indicated by arrows) of genes that are differentially regulated in V+ and V− bees and also by one or more pheromone. Gene expression data were taken from [9] for queen mandibular pheromone and from [8] for brood pheromone. Numbers in parentheses are the total number of genes from each experiment. Numbers in brackets are the percentages of genes regulated in V+ bees that are up- or downregulated by pheromones. Chi-square tests with Yates correction were performed.
