Least squares means are presented with 95% confidence intervals. Differences between populations are shown as percentage differences with 95% confidence intervals. D-U: difference between domesticated and unselected populations. D-W: difference between domesticated and wild populations. U-W: difference between unselected and wild populations. Differences shown in bold are those that are statistically significant (p < 0.05) after adjustment for family-wise error using the sequential Bonferroni method.
