Table 3 Test of differences in epibiota biomass. ANCOVA for the effect of (host) species and (sampling) time on the relative epibiota load (biomass). Means adjusted for covariance with thallus size (g FW). Both epibiota biomass and thallus size were log transformed prior to analysis. df adjusted for the addition of two pseudo-samples in May

From: Epibiota communities of the introduced and indigenous macroalgal relatives Sargassum muticum and Halidrys siliquosa in Limfjorden (Denmark)
