Principal component analysis of all DEG. The first two principal components (PCs) are displayed, together representing 63% of the total variation. Each point represents a single sample. PC1 separates samples based on food preference, whereas PC2 separates pheromone treatment, particularly for nectar foragers. Shape represents pheromone treatment. Color represents pollen or nectar forager-type. The percentage of variation in transcript expression patterns explained by each PC is shown in the axes
