  1. * two copies of dicer seemed likely for A. mellifera, but could not be confirmed.
  2. Genes are classified according to function and displays the current number of annotated gene copies of each gene in the waterflea D. pulex (Dpul), the mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae (Agam) and Aedes aegypti (Aaeg), the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Dmel), the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Tcas), and the honey bee Apis mellifera (Amel). Gene counts were gathered from [7, 8, 22] and public genome databases [24–26]. Please note that gene copy number may differ slightly among sources. NK indicates that the gene is not annotated from that taxon. Sequences of all of the Daphnia pulex gene models are available in Additional File 5.
