Differentially expressed genes between feeders and nonfeeders from transcriptome and DGE analysis. The most important pathways related to live prey food preference included retinal photosensitivity (A), circadian rhythm (B), appetite control (C), learning and memory (D). The colors of ellipses were shaded according to significance level (bright red: the mRNA expression levels of feeders were significantly higher than those in nonfeeders (FDR ≤ 0.001, the absolute value of log2[Ratio] ≥ 1); pink: the mRNA expression levels of feeders were slightly higher than those in nonfeeders (FDR ≤ 0.5, the absolute value of log2[Ratio] ≥ 0.5); bright green: the mRNA expression levels of feeders were significantly lower than those in nonfeeders (FDR ≤ 0.001, the absolute value of log2[Ratio] ≥ 1); pale green: the mRNA expression levels of feeders were slightly lower than those in nonfeeders (FDR ≤ 0.5, the absolute value of log2[Ratio] ≥ 0.5).
