Aphid survival and fecundity. GLM models with Poisson distribution function and identity link estimating the general effect of phenolic classes on aphid survival and reproduction across experimental set-ups. The full model includes genotype mean of the phenolic class (GTmean), induced value of the same per sample, and the interaction. Preferred model indicates model after backward removal of insignificant effects. Model summary given in bold. Suggesting a lack of effect on founder survival but effects of both CTs and PTs on fecundity. Moreover, anthocyanins measured non-destructively before the start of the experiment explained neither survival nor fecundity of the aphids.
