Gene expansion in growth-related hormone signaling pathways. A Heatmap of the number of genes involved in thyroid and insulin hormone signaling pathways among six crustaceans. The included species are B. jamesi (Bjam), A. vulgare (Avul), A. amphitrite (Aamp), E. affinis (Eaff), L. vannamei (Lvan), and E. sinensis (Esin). The red star indicates the correspondent gene of B. jamesi is significantly more than that of the other five crustaceans, and the black star indicates correspondent gene of B. jamesi is significantly more than that of A. vulgare but similar to other crustaceans (p < 0.05). B KEGG enrichment of the positively selected genes in B. jamesi. C The strengthened thyroid and insulin hormone signaling pathways. Genes with red background indicates significantly expanded genes of B. jamesi in comparison to A. vulgare; Genes with orange background indicates these genes are present in B. jamesi but absent in A. vulgare
