Analysis of variance table of the linear mixed model assessing sea urchin scaled tube foot disc area (mm2 mL−1), maximum disc tenacity (MPa), and scaled stem breaking force (mm2 mL−1) of sea urchins from three different populations. Fixed factors include population (native to mudstone [Palomarin Beach], native to granite [Bodega Bay], and native to sandstone [Bean Hollow Beach]) and body location (oral, ambital, and aboral). Sea urchin ID was included as a random factor to account for multiple measurements on the same individual. Num and den DF refer to the degrees of freedom associated with the model and model error, respectively.
