Fig. 5

Representative cuticular hydrocarbon chromatogram of the Messor specialist Tricholepisma aureum, a moulted T. aureum individual, and the host Messor barbarus. Peak identities of the CHCs can be found in Additional file 19. The dissimilarities in the CHC profiles are displayed with a NMDS plot. Silverfish are represented by coloured circles (grey: associated with the host, blue: isolated individual and moulted) around a letter code. Ant individuals are depicted by a letter code without coloured circle. The letter code refers to the host colony (see Table 3)
