Hierarchical clustering and expression patterns in each cluster in females. A Early pupal (PE) stage; B Late pupal (PL) stage. Heatmaps are based on the expression profiles of interspecific DEGs, and the clusters are based on the similarity of the expression profiles among the species. The yellow to blue colour gradient of the heatmap corresponds to the gradient of higher to lower expression levels of the genes. The tree diagrams on the right show the species clustering based on the similarity of expression profiles of DEGs in each cluster. The n value indicates the number of DEGs included in each cluster. The numerals shown on each node are approximately unbiased P-values followed by the bootstrap percentage (AU/BP). Species: Ar, C. arrowianus; In, C. insulicola; Ko, C. komiyai; and Es, C. esakii. Ar and In are species with long vaginal appendices, and Ko and Es have short copulatory pieces
