Populations of the peacock blenny under divergent ecological conditions (i.e. nest site availability) exhibit profound differences in their mating system. Using RNA-seq, we focus on how the same genome may give rise to distinct behavioural phenotypes according to environmental cues at an inter-individual level by studying both females and nest-holders from populations with reversed sex roles and from populations with ‘conventional’ sex roles to uncover the genes and genetic pathways underlying this plasticity in courtship behaviour.
