SpringerImages - Results of repeated-measures ANOVA for seed amount (a) and seed weight (b) (mean ± S.E.) for the different fates of Camellia oleifera seeds handled by the rats (Leopoldamys edwardsi) at the three levels of seed abundance. II, intact in situ; R, removal; E, eaten; B, buried; IR, intact after removal. The error bars are standard errors. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P

Extracts from the Article What's this?

Repeated-measures ANOVA analysis demonstrates that the amounts of intact in situ (II), removed (R), eaten (E) and scatter-buried (B) seeds were all significantly different among the three levels of seed abundance (Table 1 , Fig. 1 a), but were not significantly different between male and female rats (Table 1 ), and there were no significant interactions between level of seed abundance and sex of the rat (Table 1 ).

Amounts of R and B seed for medium-level seed abundance were significantly higher than those for low-level seed abundance; amounts of II, R and B seeds for high-level seed abundance were all significantly higher than those for low-level seed abundance, but the amount of E seed for high-level seed abundance was significantly lower than that for low-level seed abundance; amounts of II, R and B seeds for high-level seed abundance were all significantly higher than those for medium-level seed abundance, but the amount of E seed for high-level seed abundance was significantly lower than that for medium-level seed abundance (Table 2 ) (Fig. 1 a).

Repeated-measures ANOVA analysis demonstrates that the weights of II, R, E and B seeds are all significantly different among the three levels of seed abundance (Table 1 , Fig. 1 b), but are not significantly different between male and female rats (Table 1 ), and that there are no significant interactions between the level of seed abundance and the sex of the rat (Table 1 ).

Weights of II and R seeds for medium-level seed abundance were significantly higher than those for a low level of seed abundance; weights of II, R and B seeds for a high level of seed abundance were all significantly higher than those for a low level of seed abundance, but the weight of E seeds for a high level of seed abundance was significantly lower than that for a low level of seed abundance; the weights of II, R and B seeds for a high level of seed abundance were all significantly higher than those for a medium level of seed abundance, but the weight of E seeds for a high level of seed abundance was significantly lower than that for a medium level of seed abundance (Table 2 , Fig. 1 b).
