Results of ANCOVAs on the cumulative productivity over time of the populations at the four experimental temperatures. The cumulative productivity over time was approximated by two degree polynomials passing through the origin. Location is a fixed effect, population is nested within location.

a) ANCOVA at 12°C. The population from Saõ Tomè had no offspring production and was omitted from the analysis.
