Regions tested for their effect on intraspecies and interspecies differences in cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) within and between Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans are compared to a previous study (Laturney and Moehring 2012) that mapped the same regions for interspecies mate preference

aOnly those deficiencies that were used in both studies are shown
bCHC compound names that were significantly affected are abbreviated: n-Heneicosane (n-C21); n-Docosane (n-C22); n-Tricosane (n-C23); n-Tetracosane (n-C24); n-Pentacosane (n-C25); n-Heptacosane (n-C27); (Z)-5-Pentacosene (5-P); (Z)-5-Tricosene (5-T); ( + )-6-Tricosene (6-T); (Z)-7-Heptacosene (7-H); (Z)-7-Nonacosene (7-N); (Z)-7-Pentacosene (7-P); (Z)-7-Tricosene (7-T); (Z)-9-Heptacosene (9-H); (Z)-9-Tricosane (9-T); (Z,Z)-7,11-Heptacosadiene (7,11-HD); (Z,Z)-7,11-Nonacosadiene (7,11-ND); (Z,Z)-7,11-Pentacosadiene (7,11-PD); (Z,Z)-9,13-Pentacosadiene (9,13-PD); n-Methyldocosane (23-Br); 2-Methyltetracosane (25-Br); 2-Methyloctacosane (29-Br); 2-Methyltriacontane (31-Br). “-“ means that no CHCs were significantly affected
c“Yes” indicates that a region affects the female’s receptivity towards an interspecies male; “-“ means this behavior was not significantly affected. Note that no regions affected the related trait of a female’s attractiveness, measured as a male’s willingness to court that female
