Fig. 2: Sex biases for phenotypic traits in mice, arranged in functional groups.

Sex bias represents a greater parameter value (slope, intercept, variance) in one sex compared to the other. Colours represent significant differences in trait values between the sexes (green = male biased, orange = female biased). The number of traits that are either female biased (relative length of orange bars) or male biased (relative length of green bars) are expressed as a percentage of the total number of traits in the corresponding group. Numbers inside the green bars represent the numbers of traits that show male bias within a given group of traits, values inside the orange bars represent the number of female biased traits, and those inside the purple bars represent a combination of female bias (for intercept or slope) and male bias (for intercept or slope). a Differences between the sexes for slope. b Differences between the sexes for intercept. c Differences between the sexes for slope and intercept, including traits with mixed (purple) significant differences (i.e., male-biased significant slope and female-biased significant intercept, or female-biased significant slope and male-biased significant intercept). d Bias in statistically significant difference in variance (residual SD) between the sexes.
