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