Mixed model ANOVA (Proc Mixed, SAS) was used to estimate variance among Experiments and Replicates (nested in Experiment) as well as Treatment group (fixed) on EBS. A log-linear categorical model (Proc Catmod, SAS) was used for oviposition rate. The effect of short-term oviposition-site deprivation on hatch rate was estimated using ANOVA (Proc GLM, SAS) using Experiment as random blocks. Hatch rate could not be estimated in females with long-term oviposition-site deprivation and blood deprivation because of very low oviposition rate (See also Figure 2 and the Methods for more details). Bold values were significant after accommodating the number of contrast tests (for each response variable separately) using the Sequential Bonferroni procedure [22].

a Model fit statistics residual −2 Log Likelihood and AIC values are given in parentheses in the DF column.

b Log-linear categorical models (Proc Catmod, SAS) were used to assess the effects of various factors.
