Table 3. Results of mixed model analysis of variance for sperm velocity and percentage of motile sperm (% motile) of A. planci sperm subjected to three different pH/pCO2 conditions (factor pH).

Velocity % Motile
DF MS F p MS F p
pH 2 0.0218 23.57 <0.0001 1.2600 23.86 <0.0001
Male 5 0.0381 41.23 <0.0001 0.4400 8.33 <0.0001
pH X M 10 0.0015 1.58 0.1558 0.0531 1.01 0.4588
Slide (pH X M) 34 0.0009 1.99 <0.0001 0.0528 8.32 <0.0001
Residual 232 0.0005 0.0063
Total 283

Sperm was derived from 6 separate males (Males). Slide is a random/nested factor representing measurements taken from three independent dilutions for each male x pH combination. Velocity data were log-transformed, motility data arcsine-square root-transformed for analysis.
