Table 1.

The study species, the traits of their spores, and responses to the treatments. For the predicted light and freezing resistance, we show the posterior median value as well as the posterior probability (%) that the response is negative (denoted Ppost (γi < 0); calculated based on a sample of 10,000 values from the posterior distribution). The spore trait values are based on Niemelä (2005)

The classification of F. fomentarius spore walls was less straightforward, as Niemelä (2005) describes them as “thickish”; however, we considered them to be closer to those of thin-walled rather than those of truly thick-walled spores.
