Muscles facilitate most animal behavior, from eating to fleeing. However, to generate the variation in behavior necessary for survival, different muscles must perform differently; for instance, sprinting requires multiple rapid muscle contractions, whereas biting may require fewer contractions but greater force. Here, we use a transcriptomic approach to identify genes associated with variation in muscle contractile physiology among different muscles from the same individual. We measured differential gene expression between a leg and jaw muscle of Anolis lizards known to differ in muscle contractile physiology and performance. For each individual, one muscle was used to measure muscle contractile physiology, including contractile velocity (V |
