Transcriptomics of differences in thermal plasticity associated with selection for an exaggerated male sexual trait

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: Using RNAseq, the authors investigate the transcriptional response to temperature in males and females from the bulb mite populations selected for the increased frequency of one of two discrete male morphs (fighter- and scrambler-selected populations) that differ in relative fitness depending on temperature. The study shows that selection for divergent male sexually selected morphologies and behaviors has a potential to drive divergence in metabolic pathways underlying plastic response to temperature in both sexes. Page 3/23 Here, the authors investigate trascriptomic basis of the differences in thermal responses driven by selection for male morph expression . . .
