Experimental evolution of defense against a competitive mold confers reduced sensitivity to fungal toxins but no increased resistance in Drosophilalarvae

Table 2 Drosophila larval survival as affected by mycotoxins

Effect	F	p
selection regime (FS vs. UC)	F_1,4 = 3.54	0.1330
mycotoxin identity (myc.)	F_2,8 = 162.12	< 0.0001
mycotoxin concentration (conc.)	F_3,12 = 184.14	< 0.0001
selection regime × myc.	F_2,8 = 6.44	0.0216
selection regime × conc.	F_3,12 = 3.70	0.0429
myc. × conc.	F_6,24 = 75.19	< 0.0001
selection regime × myc. × conc.	F_6,24 = 3.01	0.0245

Generalized linear mixed model analysis of the factors affecting larval survival of Drosophila melanogaster dependent on the selection regime and mycotoxin identity (myc.) and mycotoxin concentration (conc.).
FS: fungal selected Drosophila populations, UC: unselected control populations.
