Comparison of the vigor of traits of FFMM-B in two different relative temperature conditions, representing a subset of a larger group of two-way ANOVA and K-sample median tests. The significance values are assigned to the more vigorous treatment if there was a significant difference between the two. The first six trait values given are a mean ± SD, while the last three are median values. * and *** represent significance values of 0.05 and 0.001, respectively.
a
Median value is given; a K-sample median test was used to analyze significance of interaction.
