¹ expression data were derived from [32] and this study.
² genes with a Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 and with an absolute fold change (FC) > 1 were considered as differentially expressed.
³T. urticae accession numbers can be accessed at the ORCAE-database (http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/orcae/), values between brackets represent E-values of best BLASTp hits (E-value < e-60) of T. urticae proteins with protein sequences (Flybase CG numbers) of D. melanogaster genes.
⁴ bold data reflect gene expression changes in the same direction for all four species.
