Proposed molecular mechanism underlying the evolution of sexually dimorphic CHCs in D. prolongata. Schematic diagram of the expression of eloF and the CHC biosynthetic pathway in adult oenocytes, showing quantitative differences between the sexually monomorphic D. rhopaloa and D. carrolli and the sexually dimorphic D. prolongata. Species phylogeny is on top. Colored arrows represent the four major steps in CHC synthesis. Illustrative chemical structures are shown below the substrates and products. Quantitative differences in reaction rate are indicated by arrow thickness, and the quantities of produced CHCs are indicated by the size of sex symbols (female/male). The yellow shade gradient corresponds to the increasing carbon chain length of the metabolite. ELOF is the elongase F protein responsible for producing 9P and 9H from the shorter 9T precursor
