Table 2.
The influence of age, experience, sex and endophyte on the measured life-history parameters of A. vulgaris. (All the interactions were not significant and were therefore not included in the analyses. The p-values were adjusted for multiple testing using Bonferroni corrections. The significant and marginally significant results are presented in bold letters. For the random factor ‘female identity’, the percentage of variation occurring between females is presented.)
