Figure 4

Fuzzy c-means soft clustering of four sampled stages in hybrids and parental species. Lines from green through blue to red indicate genes that are closer to the cluster centroids. The six clusters are arranged such that they are horizontally adjacent to the cluster with the largest proportion of shared genes between the species and hybrid. In the case of Drosphila simulans two clusters share the majority of their genes with the same cluster in the other two, and are indicated in the order of which shows the highest shared proportion of genes as clusters 2 and 2b. In the case of cluster six, there is no analogous D. simulans cluster that shares the majority of its genes with either the D. sechellia or hybrid clusters. L, larval; EP, early pupal; LP, late pupal; A, adult.
