Fig. 2.
a) Differential expressed genes across 3 main boll weevil life stages (larvae, pupae, and mixed sex adults) shown as a heatmap. The number in parenthesis is the sample size of each group. Warmer colors show more highly expressed genes. b) The seven expression patterns among life stages. Patterns 3 and 4 are patterns where mobile life stages (larvae and adult) had increased expression compared to pupae.
