Fig. 3

Global patterns of gene expression variation across the lifespan in response to larval diet, adult diet, and age. Scatterplots of PC1 versus PC2 (a, c, d, f) and PC1 versus PC3 (b, e) in females (top row) and males (bottom row). In (a, b, d and e) samples are coloured by adult diet and shape represents age, while in (c) and (f) the colour indicates larval diet. In females, PC1 roughly separates samples by adult diet (a), which is especially visible when plotted against PC3 (b). PC2 separates female samples by age (a). In males PC1 separates samples by age and within each age class also roughly separates samples by adult diet (d). PC2 in males further segregates flies living on the 0.25SY adult diet from the rest (d). When colouring PC1 versus PC3 by larval diet (c and f), no clear grouping is visible
