Sexual selection on the dynamics of accessory gland gene expression in maturing Drosophila males

We measured size gene expression of the accessory glands (the main production site of SFPs) at 2 and 4 days after eclosion in D. melanogaster males from six populations subjected to >160 generations of experimental evolution under either enforced monogamy (no male-male competition, 3 populations) or sustained polygamy (intense male-male competition, 3 populations). Overall design: 6 populations (three monogamous -- M1, M2, M3, three polygamous -- P1, P2, P3) x 2 timepoints (48h and 96h) for 12 total libraries, all multiplexed on 2 lanes.
