Magnitude of Log2 fold difference between round and tubenose gobies for genes plastically responding to increased or decreased temperature and those not responding to temperature (N: number of genes in category higher for RG: round goby or TNG: tubenose goby, mean (SD): average (standard deviation) of Log2 fold increase over the other species, Wilcoxon W: W statistic for Wilcoxon rank‐sum test for rank order of RG versus TNG for that category of genes, p value: p‐value for Wilcoxon rank‐sum test)
