Expression profiles of the candidate genes included in candidate clusters. The candidate genes for interspecific differences in copulatory piece length (A, B) and vaginal appendix length (C). A MPL4 cluster genes, bun, CG14073, Usp8, and cmb. B MPL8 cluster genes, MED24, and obst-A. C FPL1 cluster genes, dimm, Sb, Pka-C3, Fhos, and Cpr56F. Species: Ar, C. arrowianus; In, C. insulicola; Ko, C. komiyai; and Es, C. esakii. Expression levels with the same letter (a, b, c) are not significantly different from each other (P > 0.05) among species in each stage by the multiple comparison test
