The table describe the results of the Tukey’s honest analysis for comparison of the difference in the mean value of pré-imaginal developmental time (above) and wing size (bellow) between the assessed diets
Diff. mean differences, Lwr lower limit of the confidence interval, Upr upper limit of the confidence interval, P adj. adjusted value of P
The symbol “**” indicates a significant difference between the mean values (P adj. ˂ 0.5)
