The table shows the results of a two-sided general linear mixed model with F-values as dependent variable (N = 264), ecological variables, trait groups (morphology, scent, glucosinolates, see Fig. 3), and their interactions as fixed factors, and replicate as random factor. F-values were calculated for plants that evolved in different soil types by one-way ANOVAs for each trait. F-values in this analysis correspond to degree of differentiation in traits. Bold indicates significant factors (P < 0.05).
