Transcriptomic Analysis Following Artificial Selection for Grasshopper Size

Transcriptomic Analysis Following Artificial Selection for Grasshopper Size

We analyzed the transcriptomes of <i>Romalea microptera</i> grasshoppers after 8 years of artificial selection for either long or short thoraces. Evolution proceeded rapidly during the experiment, with a 13.3% increase and a 32.2% decrease in mean pronotum lengths (sexes combined) in the...
