Table 3.

Trait correlations for a representative northern (EUR) and southern (SAN) populations separated by water treatment from the year 2 intensive sampling. High water treatment correlations are shaded in grey and low water treatments correlations are unshaded. Statistically significant correlations (P < 0.05) are in bold type
