Fig. 5

Expression profiles of cut, Ubx, and en in vestigial discs of wingless queens from different Sky Islands show similar expression patterns. Panels in the left column a, e, i, m, and q represent diagrams of expression patterns of Cut (blue), Ubx (violet) and En (pink). From left to right, columns show gene expression profiles (purple) of Cut (b, f, j, n, r), Ubx c, g, k, o, s, and En (d, h, l, p, t) in winged queens and wingless queens across four Sky Islands. Black arrowheads point to vestigial discs and asterisks indicate an absence of expression in the vestigial wing discs. Insets show forewing discs at higher magnification
