Multivariate pairwise contrasts among site types for the slopes are only shown for the population x wing length interaction for brevity (sequential Bonferroni correction, 3 comparisons). See text for the results of pairwise contrasts between populations. Significant effects and pairwise comparisons are indicated in bold. Only first canonical variates are shown; all second canonical variates are nonsignificant.
