^aMean is significantly different from all other groups within characteristic at p<0.05.

^bMeans for group 1 and group 2 are significantly different from group 3, but not from each other at p<0.05.

^cMeans for group 2 and group 3 are significantly different from each other at p<0.05.

^dMeans are significantly different from all other groups except for group 2 versus group 4 within characteristic at p<0.05.
