Figure 2

Comparison of recombination frequencies between N. vitripennis adult males and interspecific N. giraulti (♂) × N. vitripennis (♀) embryos. The left box plot shows differences in the recombination frequency between homologous genome segments per chromosome. The right plot depicts the differences pooled for the whole genome. In both cases, negative values indicate greater intraspecific recombination. Box plots show the median (thick horizontal line within the box), the 25 and 75 percentiles (box), and 1.5 times the interquartile range of the data (thin horizontal lines). Outliers are indicated by an open circle and extreme cases are marked by an asterisk.
