Table 2 Summary of a-posteriori simultaneous tests for homogeneity, from experiments 1 and 2 in which flies were offered the choice of spider models were presented versus a plain background

From: Colour polymorphic lures exploit innate preferences for spectral versus luminance cues in dipteran prey

  

Experiment 1 (White model vs plain bkg)

Experiment 2 (Yellow model vs plain bkg)

  1. ‘Visual angle’ describes the apparent size of model spiders as viewed by flies at the choice point in a Y-maze apparatus (Additional file 1: Figure S1)
  2. Asterisks indicate significant heterogeneity within a set, with maximally non-significant sets immediately above
