• Nestmate discrimination in ants: effect of bioassay on aggressive behavior (2003, methodology): “intervals (Morel et al., 1988) 1 dead ant 1 live ant neutral arena Time spent by live ant biting dead ant (Crosland, 1990) cuticular wash whole colony foraging area Count number of ants aggressive toward extract on glass block ( Wagner et al., 2000 ) Colonies were maintained in soil-free, fluon-coat”
• Ecological, behavioral, and biochemical aspects of insect hydrocarbons. (2005, background): “For most of their multivariate statistical studies, the authors used only the five mostabundant hydrocarbons, because with numerous independent variables statistical artifacts are highly likely when making multiple comparisons (116), unless very large sample sizes are used.”
