Fig. 8: Evidence for different targets of selection on adaptive and maladaptive plasticity.

From: Selection on adaptive and maladaptive gene expression plasticity during thermal adaptation to urban heat islands

Fig. 8

A Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-associated adaptive plasticity display a significant enrichment of nonsynonymous polymorphisms, whereas those associated with maladaptive plasticity do not. B Single-nucleotide polymorphisms-associated maladaptive plasticity display a significant enrichment of noncoding polymorphisms), whereas those associated with adaptive plasticity do not. Dots and bars represent the proportion of SNPs among genes associated with adaptive (black) and maladaptive (white) plasticity, and 95% confidence intervals, respectively. Horizontal dotted lines represent expected proportions estimated from transcriptome-wide background (SNPs among genes unassociated with heat tolerance). All 130 animals for which we had sequence data were used in this analysis.
