From: Phylogenetic relatedness and host plant growth form influence gene expression of the polyphagous comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album)

Figure 2

General patterns of gene expression in the larval restbody of Polygonia c-album. Dark grey represent qualitative differences or similarities (present/absent), light grey represent quantitative differences or similarities (more/less). The pattern seen in the restbody is distinctly different from the midgut. (a) The number of uniquely upregulated genes on the three host plants used in the study. (b) Pairwise similarities in upregulation between two of the three host plants. "Urticalean rosids" = Urtica dioica + Ulmus glabra; "Trees" = Ulmus glabra + Salix caprea; "No connection" = Urtica dioica + Salix caprea. Again, the pattern is different from the midgut; there are no effects of shared ancestry or growth form.
