Composition of CHC profiles sorted according to the most common functional groups in the analyzed species. Left columns refer to hosts and right columns refer to brood parasites; top graphs refer to females, bottom graphs to males. Five randomly selected samples of each species and sex illustrate within-group CHC variability. Color hues indicate different CHC classes, also sorted from right to left: pink indicates pure n-alkane (C21–C33), blues are used to indicate monomethyl-branched alkanes, greens indicate dimethyl-branched alkanes, orange-brown colors are used to indicate alkenes and yellow hues indicate alkadienes
