Figure 6. Interspecific evolution of pigmentation and dimorphic element activity.

Figure 6

(A) Phylogeny for species that differ in the extent of sexually dimorphic pigmentation. (B–I) Dorsal view of adult abdomens, pigmentation of the (E) D. yakuba female A5 and A6 segments is more (D) male-like, whereas pigmentation is altogether absent on the A5 and A6 segments of (G) D. fuyamai females. (J–Q) Comparison of GFP-reporter gene activity in female transgenic pupae at 85 hr APF. Activity measurements are represented as the % of the (K) Concestor element female A6 mean ± SEM for (M) D. yakuba, (O) D. fuyamai, and (Q) D. auraria.
