This figure has been modified from Gross and Charnov [35] and Neff and Knapp [36]. Ages are based on data from Gross and Charnov [35] but may differ among populations [33].
Fig 2.
Heatmap of transcripts differentially expressed in at least one group comparison.
Only transcripts with a log2 fold change of 1.5 or greater are included in the heatmap, representing 1,400 transcripts. Count values were averaged within each group and are scaled by row. Sneak = sneaker males, Sat = satellite males, Parent = parental males, Fem = females, NS_P = non-spawning parental males.
Fig 3.
Biological process GO terms enriched by genes with higher expression in sneaker males compared to all other groups.
Boxes of similar color are grouped into the same GO term hierarchy. Box size reflects the–log10 p-value of the GO term.

Differentially expressed transcripts associated with each male mating tactic and females.
Fig 4.
UpSet graph displaying the number of differentially expressed transcripts among groups.
For each comparison, the number on top of each bar represents the number of differentially expressed transcripts (intersection size). The comparison in question is indicated by the dots or connected dots below its respective bar. Set size indicates the total number of transcripts for each comparison.
