Fig. 1. Variation in (A) body mass and (B) hematocrit across the reproductive cycle
on a high-quality diet (different lowercase letters indicate significant
differences in means at P<0.05 using Tukey–Kramer
adjustment); and variation in (C) body mass and (D) hematocrit across the
egg-laying cycle on a high-quality (filled circles) versus
low-quality (open circles) diet. Values are least-square means ±
s.e.m.

Fig. 2. Variation in (A) hemoglobin concentration and (B) red blood cell (RBC)
number across the reproductive cycle on a high-quality diet (different
lowercase letters indicate significant differences in means at
P<0.05 using Tukey–Kramer adjustment); and variation in (C)
hemoglobin and (D) red blood cell number across the egg-laying cycle on a
high-quality (filled circles) versus low-quality (open circles) diet.
Values are least-square means ± s.e.m.

Fig. 3. Variation in (A) mean cellular volume and (B) reticulocyte index (%) across
the reproductive cycle on a high-quality diet (different lowercase letters
indicate differences in means at P<0.05 using Tukey–Kramer
adjustment); and variation in (C) mean cellular volume and (D) reticulocyte
index across the egg-laying cycle on a high-quality (filled circles)
versus low-quality (open circles) diet. Values are least-square means
± s.e.m.
