Appendix F. Summary of the results of post hoc statistical analyses of frog tadpole traits, comparing the four experimental treatments (i.e., large-variation, large-variation giant-removal, small-variation, and no-salamander treatments).

Summary of the results of post hoc statistical analyses of frog tadpole traits, comparing the four experimental treatments (i.e., large-variation, large-variation giant-removal, small-variation, and no-salamander treatments). Significant values are in bold (significant level was adjusted using sequential Bonfferoni methods with significant value P = 0.05).
