Figure 2

Effects of monoamines on female oviposition. Total number of eggs laid by C. chinensis females of strains (A) jC-S, (B) isC, (C) akC02, and (D) mC after injection with dopamine, octopamine, tyramine, serotonin, or Milli-Q water (control) over 5 days after injection. The number of eggs laid differed significantly among monoamine treatments on days 1 to 5 in jC-S, isC, and mC, and on days 1 and 5 (but not on days 2 to 4) in akC02 (Additional file 1: Table S2). Bars labeled with an asterisk differ significantly from the control within a strain (P < 0.05, Dunnett’s test). The numbers in parentheses show the sample size.
