Table 1. Three-way ANOVA to assess the effect of genotype and the dispersal status (i.e. difference between dispersers and residents) on three movement metrics: activity (proportion of moving cells), movement speed and linearity.
Genotype and dispersal status were considered as crossed and fixed effects, and replicate as random effect nested in genotype but crossed with dispersal status because data from the two status were paired per replicate (i.e. the start and target tubes of one dispersal system). The column ‘denominator for F-test’ indicates the error term used to test for each effect, according to the ANOVA model; ‘–’ denote the factors that cannot be tested because the error has no degrees of freedom in this model.
