Table 2.
The effects of bacteria load (CFU), genotype and primary exposure treatment (Ringer's or heat‐killed Lactococcus lactis for model 4a; Ringer's or heat‐killed Pseudomonas entomophila for model 4b) on the response variable fecundity tolerance one day post‐challenge (DPC)
| Tested effect | Model 4a: L. lactis | Model 4b: P. entomophila | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| χ2 | df | p | χ2 | df | p | |
| CFU | 0.41 | 1 | 0.52 | 0.39 | 1 | 0.53 |
| Genotype | 41.54 | 3 | <0.0001 | 22.78 | 3 | <0.0001 |
| Primary | 0.07 | 1 | 0.78 | 0.0009 | 1 | 0.98 |
| CFU × Genotype | 8.85 | 3 | 0.03 | 9.75 | 3 | 0.02 |
| CFU × Primary | 0.26 | 1 | 0.61 | 2.88 | 1 | 0.09 |
| Genotype × Primary | 2.73 | 3 | 0.43 | 1.11 | 3 | 0.77 |
| CFU × Genotype × Primary | 3.33 | 3 | 0.34 | 4.71 | 3 | 0.19 |
Significant interactions between CFU and genotype indicate genetic variation in fecundity tolerance.
Values in bold are statistically significant.
