Table 3.

Results of ANOVA for parental effects on growth and fitness in contrasting environments. Effects of parental treatment (PT; parental shade versus parental sun), offspring treatment (OT; severe shade versus neighbour shade versus sunny dry), genotype (G), all two- and three-way interactions and block (nested within offspring treatment) on growth and fitness traits, based on significance tests from a three-way ANOVA. Significant p-values (adjusted for false discovery rate) and partial eta-squared (η2p) values for each term are shown in italics (p < 0.10, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, non-significant p ≥ 0.10).
