Table 1. Effects of interactions between the variables Early treatment, Family lineage, and Sex on body mass at completion of the early experiment.
Results derive from a linear mixed model including the variable Start date (the time of allocating hatchlings to individual treatments) as a random effect to account for a potential influence of photoperiod on development. Body mass was log-transformed. Significant P values are shown in bold.
| Explanatory variable | Body mass at completion of the early experiment | |

| Family lineage | 6.5 | <0.0001 |
| Sex | 427.6 | <0.0001 |
| Early treatment * Family lineage | 8.6 | <0.0001 |
