Phenotypic variation in sexually and asexually recruited individuals of the Baltic Sea endemic macroalga Fucus radicans: in the field and after growth in a common-garden

Table 1 ANOVA statistics (P-values) indicating differentiation of traits.

	*No common garden treatment*				*Common garden treatment*
Differentiation	Thallus width	Distance between dichotomies	Phlorotannin content	Palatability to grazers	Photochemical yield	Photochemical yield after desiccation	Photochemical yield after freezing	Water content after desiccation	Growth during 3 months
ANOVA clones	0.55	0.1	0.0001	0.49	0.08	0.059	0.002	0.99	0.36
Post-hoc (SNK)
Clone-0 vs Clone-1			P < 0.05				P < 0.05
Clone-0 vs Clone 4						0.05 <P < 0.10	P < 0.05
Clone-1 vs Clone 4			P < 0.05			0.05 <P < 0.10
Effect			Clone-1 higher			Clone-4 higher	Clone-0 lower

Variation of phenotypic trait values for nine different traits are compared among the 3 monoclonal groups and significant results further evaluated with SNK posthoc test. Trait values were used untransformed with low deviations from homogeneous variances. Significant values are indicated in bold
