Measure, statistic, and equivalence (Equiv) range are indicated on the left. Results were calculated for the pooled effect of time and condition (first column), the effect of condition for month 3 and month 6 individually (second 2 columns), and the effect of time for the control, variable, and hot environments individually (last 3 columns). Significant results are indicated by bolded text, and significant P values are annotated with an asterisk. F statistic and η2 (effect [Eff] size) are rounded to 2 decimal points. P values are rounded to 4 decimal points. If rounding results in a value of 0, then 0 is displayed without decimals.
