^a,*No effect of resource quantity at low resource N:P (F_1,238=1.4 P=1.0).

^b,*No effect of resource quantity at high resource N:P (F_1,238=3.6 P=0.06).

Separate analyses were run for each species and each growth phase because of differences in dispersion between species and growth phases. Given are F-values (subscripts are degrees of freedom) and significances (from 1000 permutations) for effects of resource quantity, resource N:P (as condensed two-level factor) and the interaction effect. Because of significant interaction effects, all analyses were followed by post-hoc multiple pair-wise comparisons using a Bonferroni adjustment of significance values. All post-hoc tests were significant except two (see footnote in table). The last line of the table gives minimum F and maximum P-values for all significant post-hoc tests.
