From: Gravid females of the mosquito Aedes aegypti avoid oviposition on m-cresol in the presence of the deterrent isomer p-cresol

Figure 7

Oviposition response of Ae. aegypti to single odors and their mixture tested against water. a) p-cresol at 102 ppm was deterrent (P = 0.009, paired t- test, same data as Figure 4, replotted for comparison, n = 13). b) m-cresol at 102 ppm was not deterrent (P = 0.766, paired t- test, same data as Figure 5d, replotted for comparison, n = 13). c) The mixture was deterrent (P = 0.008, paired t- test, n = 11). Asterisk indicates P < 0.05.
