Summary of nested (hierarchical) analyses of variance testing for an effect of treatment temperature (21, 29 °C) (Effect: Acclimation) and experimental plasticity treatment (Effect: Plasticity) on physiological traits of climatic stress resistance in adult Glossina pallidipes (Diptera, Glossinidae). Acclimation and Plasticity were categorised as random factors. MS = mean squares, DF = degrees of freedom.
