- aDescribes the number of replicate populations of worms (each population more than 100 worms) which were tested per genotype, thus the number of such replicate populations (N) per isolation site is therefore 20 times higher than the replicate populations per genotype (as we have 20 genotypes per isolation site).
- bSignificant.
- cWhen all observations per genotype were used instead of the mean per genotype, the populations from the different isolations sites were significantly different (P<0.0014).
