Fig. 5: Divergence rates (the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions, dN/dS), at three developmental stages; hatchling, juvenile and adult stage.
From: Dynamics of sex-biased gene expression during development in the stick insect Timema californicum
Boxplots represent the median, lower and upper quartiles, and whiskers the minimum and maximum values (in the limit of 1.5× interquartile range). Adjusted p values of Wilcoxon rank sum tests are summarized above the box plots (***p < 0.001, *p < 0.05). Note that the four male-biased genes at the hatchling stage had no identified ortholog in other Timema species and therefore no associated dN/dS value.
