Table 1.
Mean values and standard errors (SE) of the different mite reproductive parameters investigated along with probability values of significant differences between the surviving colonies (SC) and control colonies (CC) within locations for each parameter investigated and probability values of significant differences between all surviving colonies and control colonies (between locations). Levels of significance are denoted with increasing number of asterisk.
