approached significancep = 0.0561.1× alpha
Although the Pair × Orientation interaction approached significance ( p = 0.056), post-hoc comparisons showed that only the Infant versus Adult comparison demonstrated a substantial orientation difference: the upright orientation ( M = 12.14, SD = 50.47) exceeded the inverted orientation ( M = − 7.43, SD = 63.33), t (870) = 3.66, p < 0.001.
marginally non-significantP = 0.0561.1× alpha
A General Linear Model with (1) mean heart rate as a continuous predictor, (2) snout-vent length and body mass at birth as dependent variables, and (3) embryo positioning and clutch of origin as categorical predictors yielded a marginally non-significant effect of embryo positioning F 2, 38 = 3.11; P = 0.056—see Fig. 5 ).
only marginally significantp = 0.0561.1× alphagold
However, to what extent can we attach biological meaning to a reaction norm that is statistically unsupported? A slight reaction norm was obtained when studying short-term variability (i.e., within a breeding season) in the FID of rural burrowing owls 17 , but results are only marginally significant when reanalyzed and applying the most recommended likelihood ratio test 42 (p = 0.056).
