Genes with significant juvenile sex-specific differences in eye expression. Average quantities as determined by qPCR for genes with significant eye expression differences between stage-matched males and females. Ec-dac, ec-chp, and ec-sv all had significantly higher expression in juvenile males than in juvenile females. ec-dac and ec-sv showed the earliest differences, between stage IV male and female eyes. This difference was maintained in stage V males for ec-sv. ec-chp also showed significantly higher expression in male stage V eyes. All three genes showed significant variation by ANOVA (Additional file 9). Error bars represent standard error. Specification gene homologs are in blue and determination/patterning gene homologs are in green. Lighter colors denote earlier developmental timepoints. Due to the large variation in expression levels between genes, the Y-axis is log-scaled
