Fitness variation in response to artificial selection for reduced cell area, cell number and wing area in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster

Table 3 Results of the mixed linear model ANOVAs on log-transformed data on the relative viability and developmental time after one unselected generation.

		Viability		Developmental time
Source of variation	Df	MS	F	MS	F
Selection	2	0.377	0.239	0.0095	1.33
Temperature	1	0.0123	0.0078	0.01236	1.73
Selection × temperature	2	0.0004	0.00025	0.00078	0.109
Population (selection × temperature)	18	1.574	124 ***	0.00711	54.7 ***
Residuals	201	0.0127		0.00013

Population is nested within selection and temperature. Standardisation: values of selected lines divided by the respective mean value of the inbred control.
***P < 0.001; Df, degrees of freedom; MS, mean square; F, variance ratio.
