Figure 1 Quantification of P. maculiventris Egg Pigmentation (A and B) A calibration curve (A) of the absorbance of 500 nm light (A500) by solubilized P. maculiventris eggs versus their brightness (BR) measured in photographs, after subtracting out the background A500 of unpigmented eggs (7.87/g), was used to assign a pigmentation index (PI) to eggs of different pigmentation levels; examples shown in (B). See Figures S1 and S2 for detailed descriptions of egg pigmentation, spectral measurements, and biochemical analyses.

Figure 2 The Pigmentation of Eggs Laid by Podisus maculiventris in Painted Petri Dishes, Depending on whether Eggs Were Laid on the Bottom, Side, or Inside Lid of the Dish (A) Egg PI differed significantly between black and white petri dishes (linear mixed model with female ID as random factor; χ2 = 11.58, p < 0.001) and varied among laying positions (χ2 = 11.37, p = 0.0034). bot, bottom. (B) Egg pigmentation was only marginally different between the two sides of half black and half white petri dishes (χ2 = 3.39, p = 0.066) but varied among positions (χ2 = 9.09, p = 0.011). Different letters indicate differences among categories (p < 0.05; Tukey contrasts following linear mixed model analysis). Categories missing or with single data points were excluded from analysis. Total n in (A)/(B) = 25/14 females; 128/58 egg masses. bot, bottom. Current Biology 2015 25, 2007-2011DOI: (10.1016/j.cub.2015.06.010) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 The Effect of Leaf Position and Luminosity Level on Egg Pigmentation (A) The pigmentation of eggs laid by P. maculiventris on soybean leaf tops (LT) or leaf undersides (LU) in cages that were either fully lit (12,000–13,000 lux) or shaded (200–300 lux). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (adjusted p < 0.05; Tukey contrasts following linear mixed model analysis). Eggs were more pigmented on leaf tops (linear mixed model with experiment block as random factor; χ2 = 72.04, p < 0.0001) and in the shaded cage treatment (χ2 = 14.18, p < 0.001); there was not a significant interaction between leaf position and luminosity (χ2 = 0.066 p = 0.80). Total n = 110 egg masses. (B) A heavily pigmented egg mass (PI > 20) laid on the top of a leaf. (C) A lightly pigmented egg mass (PI < 5) laid on the underside of a leaf.

Figure 4 The Protective Effect of Egg Pigmentation against Ultraviolet Radiation The probability of P. maculiventris nymphs successfully developing and emerging when developing in eggs of different pigmentation levels and exposed to four different constant intensities of UV radiation emanating from a UVA/B lamp (300–390 nm; applied during 16-hr light period of each day during development). F indicates that a UV-filtering lens was placed over the eggs to achieve the given intensity. Points show the successes and failures of individual eggs (displaced vertically for clarity). Lines show predictions from a logistic regression model fitted to the data; both UV treatment (χ2 = 129.07, p < 0.0001) and PI (χ2 = 46.61, p < 0.0001) were significant predictors of emergence probability. Different letters indicate significant differences between UV treatments (Tukey contrasts; p < 0.05). Total n = 460 eggs. For the response of ovipositing females to UV radiation, see Figure S3.
