From: Multi-level analysis of reproduction in an Antarctic midge identifies female and male accessory gland products that are altered by larval stress and impact progeny viability

Figure 11

Impact of larval dehydration stress on male fertility. (A) Expression profiles of male-associated genes with expression differences after larval dehydration (D, dehydration, C, control, and CD, cryoprotective dehydration, MAG, male accessory gland). (B) Mass of males used in mating experiments from dehydrated or control larvae. (C) Viable eggs produced (control or dehydrated) following copulation with dehydrated or control males. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to examine statistical differences with the use of R statistic packages. Tukey’s test was used as a post-hoc test to examine significance between each treatment. Bars above indicate significance at P < 0.05 unless otherwise noted.
