Fig. 3. Conditioned responses from two different groups of animals that received
different concentrations of scented (5 µl l-1) sucrose solution
during trophallaxis (either 0.5 mol l-1 or 1.8 mol l-1).
A control group of animals (C) received unscented 0.5 mol l-1
sucrose solution. (A) General percentage of proboscis extensions
(%PEG). Letters indicate statistical differences among the
different odour concentrations (G-test,
***P<0.001; see Results for details): the results of
two groups that do not differ significantly are denoted by the same letter.
(B) Percentage of proboscis extensions (%PE) corresponding to the first
(%PE1, white bars), second (%PE2, grey bars) and third
tests (%PE3, black bars). Animals were tested 21, 27 and 46 h
following trophallaxis in a cumulative fashion. The number of animals is given
in parentheses. In B, differences in the sample size within a given group are
due to differences in mortality and US responsiveness prior to the tests.
