Fig. 2.—

Sex-biased expression in virgin and mated beetles for the plastic genes in (A) the abdomen (1,041 genes) and (B) the head and thorax (243 genes). Grey dashed lines indicate a 2-fold difference in expression between the sexes (i.e., logFC = 1 or − 1. Positive values indicate female- and negative male-biased expression). Off diagonal segments show the genes that have changed sex-bias status due to mating (upper left segment: from male- to female-bias, lower right segment: from female- to male-bias).
