Differential expression analysis of neuropeptide gene families that correlate with S. carpocapsae strain behaviour. Figures a and c represent pairwise comparisons of S. carpocapsae Breton (BR) relative to UK1 and ALL; assessing shared gene expression patterns that correlate with increased attraction to G. mellonella; Figures b and d represent pairwise comparisons of S. carpocapsae UK1 relative to BR and ALL; assessing gene expression patterns that correlate with reduced nictation behaviour. a, b Differential expression analysis of neuropeptide-like protein genes; c, d differential expression of insulin-like peptide genes; adjusted P values are indicated for all log2 fold changes; padj P < 0.05*. P < 0.01**, P < 0.001***, P < 0.0001****. Flp and neurotransmitter gene maps are included in supplemental as there are no differentially expressed genes satisfying a > 2 log2 fold threshold
