FDR-corrected P values were generated by fitting a standard least squares ANOVA model with compound abundance as the dependent variable and social behavior as a fixed effect for both sociality (solitary vs. eusocial) and caste. The best-fit model columns indicate whether the compounds were included in the elastic net model with the lasso penalty (alpha = 1).
