Fig. 2

Reductase expression in the wing muscles of golden-collared manakins (left column; n = 4 male, n = 5 female) and zebra finches (right column; n = 6 male, n = 5 female). Muscles are denoted on the bottom axis (supracoracoideus, SC; scapulohumeralis caudalis, SH; and pectoralis, PEC). a, b Relative expression of the gene for type 1 5α-reductase. c, d Relative expression of the gene for type 2 5α-reductase. e, f Relative expression of the gene for 5β-reductase. Data are presented as mean ± 1SEM. Asterisks denote significant differences (*=p < 0.05; **=p<0.01; ***=p<0.001) in relative expression between sexes (depicted in legend) or among muscles. N.S indicates non-significant difference (p > 0.05)
