Table 1. Summary of plasmatocyte subpopulation characteristics and their developmental regulation.

	Subpopulation characteristics (compared to overall population):						Subpopulations in:
Subpopulation	Wound responses	Migration speed	Efferocytosis	ROS levels	Phagocytosis of E. coli		Embryos	Larvae	Pupae	Newly hatched adults	Aged adults
VT17559	↓	↓	↓	no difference	no difference		distinct subpopulation	very few cells labelled	large numbers labelled by 18 hr APF	large numbers present	largely absent by 2 weeks
VT32897	↓	no difference	only decreased in FYVE	no difference	no difference		distinct subpopulation (fewest cells)	few cells labelled + nephrocytes and garland cells (?)	large numbers labelled by 72 hr APF	large numbers present	labelled cells persist
VT57089	no difference	no difference	↓	no difference	no difference		distinct subpopulation	almost no cells labelled + Bolwig Organ (?)	steady increase in numbers labelled	large numbers present	largely absent by 1 week
VT62766	↓	no difference	↓	no difference	no difference		distinct subpopulation	almost no cells labelled	large numbers labelled by 48 hr APF	large numbers present	largely absent by 1 week
