Differentially co-expressed (a and b) and preserved (c and d) metabolite modules of metabolites in males (a and c) and females (b and d) in response to developmental temperature. The heat maps consist of an N x N grid of N metabolites, and each pixel represents the correlation coefficient across samples between any two metabolites (red is positive, blue is negative). The metabolites are ordered such that groups of highly correlated metabolites (modules) are clustered together. The top left represents correlations between pairs of metabolites at developmental temperature of 18°C., and the bottom right at 27°C. To identify modules that change or are preserved significantly between the two conditions, we used the R package DiffCoEx (see Methods). Modules of metabolites are depicted as black squares along the central diagonal, and also as colored boxes on the bottom and on the left. A correlation color scale is shown on the right, with red corresponding to r = 1, and blue to r = −1.
