Supplementary Table S1 from A predicted interaction between odour pleasantness and intensity provides evidence for major histocompatibility complex social signalling in women

Studies that tested experimentally for MHC-linked body or urinary odours and/or odour preferences in humans, based on a search in Web of Science (www.webofknowledge.com), starting with the keywords “HLA” and “odour”, and examining studies that cited, or were cited by, the papers that matched the search criteria. The table summarizes the conclusions drawn by the authors of the respective paper, with “yes” = the authors concluded that they had found evidence for MHC-linked effects on odours or odour perception; “(yes)” = both sexes were included and analyses were not sex-specific; “.“ = link to MHC was not tested; “?” = the role of the MHC remained unclear because there was no statistically significant link. The column “Critique & authors’ reply” refers to commentary papers that specifically addressed aspects of the respective paper

Mixed-effects analyses of pleasantness scorings in the combined datasets of Probst et al. [1] and Wedekind et al. [2], testing the effects of the sharing of MHC antigens between donor and rater (dissimilar versus similar; “MHC”), odour intensity (“intensity”), and “study” (Probst et al. [1] versus Wedekind et al. [2]) as fixed factors, and rater identity or donor identity (“ID”) as random factors. The proportions of the total variance explained are based on REML variance component estimates (unbounded). Significant p-values are marked in bold

This file contains all metadata to the OTU file, used with QIIME. it explains what the brown trout egg samples are and how they related to the OTU file

OTU file

This file contains all the bacterial taxa (OTU = operational taxonomic unit of bacteria) that we could sequence on brown trout egg samples in our study. This file is used to work with QIIME. There is a parallel file to this one that contains all the metadata (map file)

Semen characteristics versus testosterone levels.

<p>Semen characteristics versus mean peripheral plasma testosterone levels (“T”; in nmol/L). Mean sperm number (A) after exposure to mares versus T during exposure to mares (tau = 0.45, p = 0.04), and (B) after exposure to stallions against T during exposure to stallions (tau = -0.31, p = 0.19). (C) Mean VCL after exposure to mares against T during exposure to mares (tau = 0.18, p = 0.41), and (D) after exposure to stallions against T during exposure to stallions (tau = 0.49, p = 0.04). The analogous correlations between T and the other sperm velocity measures were never significant (|tau| always < 0.30, p always > 0.17). Stallions were either first exposed to stallions and then to mares (triangles) or vice versa (circles). The lines give the regressions to emphasize the direction of significant correlations.</p

Semen characteristics.

<p>Semen characteristics (means ± 95% CI over averages of three ejaculates per stallion) after exposure to mares (A, C) or to stallions (B, D), plotted separately for mean sperm number (A, B), mean VCL (C, D), and each for stallions who were first exposed to other stallions and then to mares, and for stallions who were first exposed to mares and then to other stallions. The numbers of stallions per treatment are indicated in the figure (one stallion had to be euthanized before the last semen collection–see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0143185#sec002" target="_blank">Methods</a>).
