Table 2.
One-way ANOVA results for proportions of functional traits of algae found in tadpole's diet from streams flowing through granitic rock with higher fluoride concentration (HF-CN) and metamorphic rock with lower fluoride concentration (LF-LV). For each variable, F value, degrees of freedom (df) of factor and error, P value are shown. Significant results are indicated in bold.
