Table 1. Residual variance of each character in each population.
| Populations |
|||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kawayu | Obihiro | Furano | Moshiri | Ishikari | Ohnuma | Gotenba | Norikura | Average ± S.D. | |
| FTSL | 20.8 | 30.1 | 13.3 | 18.5 | 21.3 | 10.9 | 9.35 | 12.0 | 17.0 ± 6.98 |
| HTL | 7.7 | 6.8 | 7.3 | 6.5 | 9.8 | 6.2 | 5.3 | 5.8 | 6.9 ± 1.40 |
| HTSL | 105.7 | 121.4 | 29.8 | 32.7 | 143.0 | 99.8 | 50.40 | 59.7 | 80.3 ± 42.73 |
The residuals were calculated using the regression line of each character to HW. In all the populations, residual variance was significantly diverse among populations (F-test, all significant aeter Bonferroni correction) being the largest in HTSL, the intermediate in FTSL and the smallest in HTL.
