P-values of a PERMANOVA test on all possible interaction.

A Permutational Based Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Euclidean distances, 9999 permutations), was used to statistically test two-way, three-way and four-way interaction terms (column 3). Each interaction component (two-way and three-way) was tested for all possible combinations of the factor(s) that were kept constant (column 1–2). Significant p-values are indicated with an asterisk.
Abbreviations: No S, absence of sulphide; S, presence sulphide; T, temperature (16, 10 and 4°C); Sal, salinity (25, 29.5 and 34 psu); Sp, cryptic Halomonhystera disjuncta species GD1–3 (previously named Geomonhystera disjuncta); MGT, minimum generation time; MEGD, minimum time until first egg(s) deposition; MEMD, minimum time for embryonic development; MJD, minimum time for the development of juveniles into adults; MALS, minimum adult life span; OS, offspring per female at the end of the experiment;/, no test available.
