Average (filled circles) and minimum and maximum (dotted lines) of Calanus finmarchicus C5 copepodid gene expression measured via qPCR during the time series study. Each of the subpanels (a-l) represents the expression profile for an individual gene, which is specified on the y-axis. Average, minimum, and maximum values were computed for n = 3 samples per day for days 1–10; days 11–12 and 13–14 were combined to obtain n = 3 samples for these combined 2-day periods (note that each sample consisted of 3 homogenized copepods). Expression was normalized by 4 housekeeping genes and log₂ transformed. Negative numbers indicate lower expression than the geometric mean expression of the 4 housekeeping genes (see Methods for additional detail).
