Fig. 4: Physiological differences between female morphs of C. crocea.

a The mass corrected total neutral lipid content within abdomens for female morphs in two temperature treatments. White boxes are Alba females, while orange boxes are orange females. Alba females, on average, have larger neutral lipid stores in their abdomens than orange females. However there is an interaction between morph and temperature as the difference is only significant in the cold treatment (cold: t29.12 = 3.42, P = 0.002, n = 32 abdomens hot: n = 25 abdomens, t22.71 = 0.67, P = 0.51). Boxplot center line, median; box limits, 25th and 75th percentiles; whiskers, 1.5× interquartile range from the hinge; points, outliers. b Volcano plot to visualize gene expression differences between female morphs in pupal abdominal tissue. Each point is a gene. Genes not significantly differentially expressed between morphs are grey, while differentially expressed genes are blue. The black square is the triacylglycerol lipase and the black triangle is RIM. The X-axis is the log of the fold change (FC), positive log(FC) indicates the gene is upregulated in Alba individuals. c Volcano plot to visualize gene expression differences between female morphs in pupal wing tissue. Color coding, shapes, and axes are the same as in panel B. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
