Forager Brain Transcriptomic Differences Are Associated with Differences in Colony Behavior

(A) Volcano plot representing forager brain gene expression differences between groups of colonies that vary in their sensitivity to humidity (see Transparent Methods 1A). Red transcripts are significantly differentially expressed at FDR-corrected q-value < 0.01.

(B) Transcript co-expression graph. Nodes are transcripts that are colored according to mean fold-change between the 2 sets of colonies. Edges connecting nodes represent correlated expression levels across all 18 libraries. Blue nodes are transcripts upregulated in foragers from colonies that strongly reduce foraging on dry days. Orange nodes are transcripts upregulated in foragers from colonies that do not strongly reduce foraging on dry days. Gray nodes are transcripts that were evenly expressed between the 2 groups of colonies.
