Table 3. Results of treatments effects on Acropora tenuis early life history stages based on generalized linear models (GLM) with log-link function temperature (Temp) and nutrient enrichment (Nut) as fixed factors and tank as random error term.

Significance at p<0.05 is shown in bold. Refer to S2 Table for detailed information for the analyses.
