Statistics include degrees of freedom (df) (between group, within group), F statistic, and P value. ANOVAs were one-way tests with season as a fixed factor. A priori contrasts included comparisons of adjacent seasons with appropriate Bonferroni adjustments made for the total number of contrasts. Young-of-the-year is abbreviated as YOY
