Variation in candidate immune gene expression in the Argentine ant native (Argentina, AR) and introduced (California, CA; Europe, EU; Australia, AU; New Zealand, NZ) ranges. Log-centred TMM-normalised FPKMs for genes associated with the immune pathways (a) RNAi, (b) JaK/STAT, (c) Imd, (d) JNK and (e) Toll. P-values for GLMs or Kruskal-Wallis tests, testing for differences between introduced regions and Argentina are given above each introduced range boxplot, compared to Argentina. Details of the genes, included in the datasets, are found in Suppl. material 1: Table S4 and full results of statistical tests in Suppl. material 1: Table S5.
