Fig. 8. Results of multivariate principal component analysis of the differences
between membrane glycerophospholipid compositions in thoracic muscles and fat
body tissues of Pyrrhocoris apterus sampled in the field (23 October
and 27 December) or variously acclimated in the laboratory (initial state,
diapause progression, desiccation, cold acclimation). (A) The centres of
elipses represent the means, and the borders the standard errors, of the
scores from the first and second principal component. The dashed line
separates the data for muscles and fat-body tissues. (B,C) The differences
among the scores of PC1 and PC2, respectively, were tested using one-way ANOVA
followed by a StudentNewmanKeuls test (different letters
indicate statistically different values).
