Table 3.
Summary of significant (p < 0.05) pairwise gene expression differences in candidate melanin and flight performance genes. Only significant comparisons are indicated by gene. d, DOPA decarboxylase; y, yellow; l, laccase; T, tyrosine hydroxylase; m, miofilin; f, flightin; t, triosephosphate isomerase; p, phosphoglucose isomerase; H , high temperature treatment; L, low temperature treatment. Bold font indicates melanin genes, italic font indicates flight performance genes.
