Correlation among traits.

	N	Correlation coefficient	P
Growth rate vs Phlorotannin content	11	-0.53	0.05-0.1
Photochemical yield after freezing vs Thallus width	12	0.51	0.05-0.1
Photochemical yield after desiccation vs Water content after 2 h of desiccation	12	0.54	0.05-0.1

Correlation coefficients are shown for those phenotypic traits that showed marginally significant correlations (0.05 <P < 0.1). (No correlations were significant at α = 0.05). All thalli from the group of unique multilocus genotypes were included in the analyses together with one randomly chosen thallus of each of the three monoclonal groups. P-values are not corrected for multiple testing
