Table 2.

(A) GLMs describing worms’ daily fecundity, as a proportion of lifetime fecundity, with fixed effects including the Selection Regime ((1) PDRP, (2) Dauer, (3) Control) and the presence or absence of N2 pheromone (Treatment). The explanatory variables in the model, the d.f., the AIC, the χ2 value of the LRT and the associated P value are all shown. Models significantly different from the preceding model are indicated in bold. (B) A summary of post hoc contrasts between the three different selection regimes within each GLM describing the daily fecundity as a proportion of lifetime fecundity (as Table 2A), showing the P values, with significant values indicated in bold
