Open-field Y-shape trail-following bioassay with <i>O. formosanus</i> workers in different phases of foraging activity.

Abstract

<p>Four types of workers were used, G (growing phase), S (surging phase), D (descending phase), activated D phase workers (AD). Samples such as (3<i>Z</i>)-dodec-3-en-1-ol (DOE) or (3<i>Z</i>,6<i>Z</i>)-dodeca-3,6-dien-1-ol (DDE), mixture of standards (DOE+DDE in order) were laid down in the base and/or in one of the branch of the bioassay. The same protocol was used as in footnote of <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0090906#pone-0090906-t003" target="_blank">Table 3</a>.</p
