A Top: Reciprocal cross schematic to generate F1 females. Bottom: Representative females and eggs generated from crosses. B Early embryo area as a proxy for egg size in the four categories of females used in this study. F1 females have intermediate egg sizes compared to the parental types. Number of clutches measured for PP = 6, LL = 5, PL = 8, LP = 4 (10 embryos measured per clutch) Quantiles are shown with box-plots with dots representing outliers. C Allele-specific expression is when parental strains have differential expression, and PL and LP have matching expression levels relative to each other. Colored, horizontal lines represent mRNA abundance in the indicated groups, with fewer lines representing reduced gene expression for a given gene. A parent-of-origin effect is when the reciprocal F1s have differing expression levels relative to each other and the parentals. Blue lines indicate the same expression levels and red lines indicate a decrease in expression. Misexpression can be either over or underdominance
