Individual Genetic Contributions to Genital Shape Variation between Drosophila simulans and D. mauritiana

Figure 2

Comparison of posterior lobes in introgression lines versus parental lines. Box plots show the distribution of the uncorrected values for area (a), width (b), and length (c) of the posterior lobes in D. simulans FC (sim; grey boxes), introgressions of D. mauritiana into a D. simulans genetic background (SM; grey), introgressions of D. simulans into a D. mauritiana genetic background (MS; white), and D. mauritiana SYN (mau; white). Boxes represent the interquartile range, with the inner horizontal line at the median and the vertical lines denoting the maximum and minimum values (). The introgression lines that were significantly different from the parental line constituting the genetic background, after correction for body size, are marked with , , and . Note that, to allow for comparison to Masly et al. [22], the box plot values in the figure are uncorrected for body size; statistical significance, however, was calculated on values that were corrected for body size.
