Table 1.

F-ratios for generalized linear models comparing the number of perfect flowers or total flowers produced by plants grown under high and low resource conditions for sub-dioecious Wurmbea dioica (Wds), and gynodioecious (Wbg) and cosexual (Wbc) W. biglandulosa.

Factors A B Factors C D E
Population 21·62*** (2,170) 23·71*** (2,170) Sex morph 13·83*** (1,93) 2·21 (1,101) 10·34** (1,76)
Resources 21·66*** (1,170) 0·10 (1,170) Resources 1·87 (1,93) 2·41 (1,101) 12·52*** (1,76)
Population × resorces 1·02 (2,170) 0·90 (2,170) Sex × resources 5·13* (1,93) 0·10 (1,101) 5·74* (1,76)

A and B are two-factor analyses with population, resource treatment and their interaction as fixed factors. A and B assess perfect flower (female function) and total flower (male function) production, respectively, of hermaphrodites from the three populations in response to resources. C, D and E are two-factor analyses with sex morph, resource treatment and their interaction as fixed factors. C and D assess female function of hermaphrodites and females, and male function of hermaphrodites and phenotypic males from Wds, respectively. E assesses female function of hermaphrodites and females from Wbg. Numerator and denominator degrees of freedom are given in parentheses. ***P < 0·001, **P < 0·01, *P ≤ 0·026. Analyses correspond to data presented in Fig. 2.
