Alternative reproductive tactics and sex‐biased gene expression: the study of the bulb mite transcriptome.

We sequenced and analyzed the bulb mite Rhizoglyphus robini (Acari, Acaridae) transcriptome. The mites have highly divergent male phenotypes: sexually dimorphic, aggressive fighter males, possessing thickened legs of the third pair which are used to kill rivals, coexist with unarmored scrambler males. We analyzed genes expression and look what we find out [
