Figure S1. Spectrographs (300-700nm wavelengths) for (A) light (above 50% reflectance) and
dark (below 50% reflectance) models, (B) representative Peromyscus polionotus leucocephalus
(above 50%) and P. p. subgriseus (below 50%), (C) soil samples from light transects, and (D)
soil samples from dark transects. Each trace represents the complete spectrum for an individual
sample (model, mouse or soil).
Figure S2. Average brightness calculated for light and dark models relative to representative
specimens of each subspecies (Peromyscus polionotus subgriseus = dark, and P. polionotus
leucocephalus = light). Box plots indicate 1st and 3
rd quartiles.
