Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Signature of Adaptation to Landscape Fragmentation
Figure 6
Change in gene expression following active flight compared with the expression difference between the landscape types.
The horizontal axis gives the change in expression following experimental flight treatment, while the vertical axis shows the expression difference between the fragmented versus continuous landscapes (without the flight treatment) in females (a) and males (b). The data set includes the 39 genes (Table S8) in which expression at 20 hours after the flight treatment was significantly and similarly different from the control individuals in both females and males. The large symbols indicate 12 genes with immune response functions, of which 8 genes are AMPs (in red) (Table S8). The 12 immune response genes (but not the remaining 28 genes) are more strongly up-regulated in males than in females following flight (P = 0.01).
