a: Experimental set-up for investigating the molecular responses of D. pulex to acute Cu exposure. Individuals from three different clonal lineages (D, K, S) were placed in individual tubes in four separate tanks. b: Volcano plot showing gene expression fold change differences between copper-exposed and control samples. The average log2 fold change in gene expression is on the x-axis (positive values are upregulated in copper-exposed samples), and the average negative log10 of FDR-corrected p-values are on the y-axis. Non-differentially expressed genes are in grey (corrected p-value > 0.05), differentially expressed (DE) genes (corrected p-value < 0.05) are in black and DE genes with corrected p-value < 0.01 and log2 fold change > 4 are in blue. The five labelled genes correspond to the annotated DE genes that are strongly responsive to acute Cu exposure in Table 1. The blue dotted lines indicate the cut-off values for the log2fold change and FDR-corrected p-value for the genes identified to be strongly responsive to acute Cu exposure.
