Table 7. Comparison between slopes among fecundity of A. lobifera collected from different reef sites across all temperature*nitrate treatments.
Comparison between slopes | df | SSD | t-test | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Inner-shelf x Mid-shelf | 41 | 0.24 | 3.51 | 0.001 |
Inner-shelf x Outer-shelf | 31 | 0.22 | 6.13 | <0.001 |
Mid-shelf x Outer-shelf | 22 | 0.21 | 2.73 | 0.02 |
Inner-shelf (Control) x Inner-shelf (Low) | 30 | 0.56 | 3.31 | 0.002 |
SDD stands for the standard error of the difference between slopes of the linearised function defining the relationship between shell size (mm2) and number of individuals produced.
