Results of the salt spray corrosion (SSC) tests support a corrosion mechanism in the Ni graphite coating being a crevice corrosion, which leads to loose corrosion products accumulated on the surface of the coating systems.
Assignment tests supported a metapopulation structure with straying among close subpopulations, especially along the west side of HC (Dosewallips, Duckabush, Hamma Hamma, and Quilcene, Table 6).
Just under half of the tests undertaken (48%, Table 1) supported the hypothesis of niche similarity between sister species whereas 13% (6/44) of the tests supported a significant difference.
For statistical analyses, measures of RMR were mass-corrected by using the residuals from a regression of RMR on body mass after a comparison of slopes tests supported a common slope for all genotypes.
Because both the D T and F* tests support a non-neutral model of evolution, most likely the Or2 data in P. pilosa and P. sp. also reflect selection.
Several traits values (Rmax, R50, gly, pyr, ace) were roughly normally distributed within the population (P > 0.05, Shapiro-Wilk normality test), supporting a polygenic determinism of these phenotypes.
These tests supported an assumption of no population stratification and we therefore applied the total association QTDT option across all analyses.
Multiple tests supported population expansions for each group of populations (boldface); one test supported a population bottleneck (underlined).
In addition, the scree test supported a three-factor model as a clear break was found after the third factor.
Although this result might represent a type I error, the consistency of significant association in light of the low number of SNPs tested supports a role for CMIP.
However, treating each evolutionary history as an independent observation, a paired-samples t-test supported a significant overall 89.92% increase in genetic distances within evolutionary histories (average change = 2.345±0.699 ×10−4; P = 0.020).
