Comparisons of TL slope <i>b</i> by <i>Triatoma</i> species (based on point estimates and standard errors in Table 2, summarizing results in S3 Table).

(A) "Cell count" is the number of pairwise comparisons. For example, there were 9 values of b for T. sordida and 31 values of b for T. infestans, so there were 9×8/2 = 36 distinct intraspecific comparisons of b for T. sordida, 31×30/2 = 465 intraspecific comparisons of b for T. infestans, and 9×31 = 279 interspecific comparisons of b for T. sordida versus T. infestans. (B) "P<0.01 count" is the number of these comparisons that had P < 0.01 according to the Welch's test (S3 Table). (C) "%P<0.01" is the percentage of comparisons with P < 0.01. For example, for the comparisons of b for T. sordida versus T. infestans, 3.2% = 9/279. If differences in b were due to sampling fluctuations alone and there were no intra- or inter-specific differences in the underlying values of b, then "%P<0.01" = (P<0.01 count)/(Cell count) should approximate 1.0%.
