Entries are number of queens with respective behavior.
Pairwise posthoc test of sperm vs. control. Wald χ2 = 0.61, df = 1, N = 30, P = 0.43. Univariate, χ2 = 0.617, P = 0.4.
Pairwise posthoc test of cycloprolylproline vs. control. Wald χ2 = 0.27, df = 1, N = 30, P = 0.61. Univariate, χ2 = 0.268, P = 0.6.
A mixture of oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids in the proportions as in natural plugs.
Pairwise posthoc test of fatty acids vs. control. Wald χ2 = 11.313, df = 1, N = 46, P < 0.001. Univariate, χ2 = 22.275, P < 0.0001.
