Figure 1.
Heat map of the 50 most expressed metabolites amongst our four experimental groups of workers of Lasius niger. At the top, colours indicate the age (orange: young, light blue: old) and caste (pink: nest workers, purple: foragers). The left column indicates the metabolite class. Grey means that the metabolite class remains unknown. At the bottom are the sample identifiers (F: forager, NW: nest worker, Y: young, O: old). Metabolite IDs are given in the right-hand column. Correspondence between ID and name is indicated in every table provided. All metabolites presented here have an FDR < 0.05 and |fold-change| > 2.
