Subject groups were compared using a 1-way ANOVA for gradients and the circular equivalent of a 1-way ANOVA (Watson-Williams multi-sample test) for angular data. P-values shown are before any post-hoc correction. P-values after correction for multiple comparisons using Holm-Bonferroni (H-B) and False Discovery Rate (FDR, based on Benjamini & Hochberg (1995) are also reported. Dashed line indicates orthogonality is not an independent measure and is not included in post-hoc correction.
