  1. Only major peaks were scored. See Table 1 for description of the populations used.
  2. a Equivalent chain length calculated as in Stennett and Etges [26].
  3. b Isomer order ranges from major to minor abundance.
  4. c Species/sexes that are not included had hydrocarbons that could not be identified.
