Table 3. Influence of genotype on methylation state.
ANOVAs were performed testing for the effects of an individual’s mother (nested within environment and grandmother), grandmother, environment (dung type) and grandmother by environment interactions (independent variables) on an individual’s methylation state (dependent variable) for each of 12 sites. Shown are F values, with significance indicated with asterisks. P values in this table are not corrected for multiple tests – a Bonferroni correction for effects of environment showed that none of these relationships remained significant after correcting for multiple tests.
