SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL for Tiago A. Pontes, Cássio Van den Berg, Ivanilza M. Andrade & Simon J. Mayo, Measuring relative flower size in Anthurium (Araceae) as a continuous quantitative character

The file consists of seven tables are included with the following legends.

Table 1SM. Mean relative flower size (RFS) per spadix zone. Means calculated from 25 values of RFS in each spadix zone (see text). Spadix phenology: 1–Pre-anthesis; 2–Anthesis; 3–Post-anthesis; 4–Pre-fruiting.

Table 2SM. Normality tests for comparison of mean relative flower size between spadix zones within each population (outlier spadices 235–4, 262–7I removed). Computed using PAST (version 2.17c, Hammer et al. 2001).

Table 3SM. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for comparison of mean relative flower size between spadix zones within each population; variance within spadix zones homogeneous, residuals normal and homoscedastic. Computed using PAST (version 2.17c, Hammer et al. 2001).

Table 4SM. Comparison of mean relative flower size between populations (pooled data for within-population spadices and spadix zones).  A. ANOVA of two populations of A. talmonii, talmonii-Mucuge, talmonii-Lencois; variance within populations homogeneous, residuals normal and homoscedastic. B. ANOVA natural log-transformed variables of all three populations of A. talmonii and A. erskinei, talmonii-Mucuge, talmonii-Lencois, erskinei-Lencois;  variance within populations homogeneous, residuals normal and homoscedastic. C. Tukey's pairwise comparisons; natural log-transformed variables of all three populations of A. talmonii and A. erskinei, talmonii-Mucuge, talmonii-Lencois, erskinei-Lencois. D. Shapiro-Wilk test for normality within populations. Computed using PAST (version 2.17c, Hammer et al. 2001).

Table 5SM. Comparison of mean relative flower size between populations (pooled data for within-population spadices) using data from a single zone. A. Using data from basal zones. B. Using data from middle zones. C. Using data from upper zones. Tukey’s pairwise comparisons: Q below diagonal, p (same) above diagonal. Residuals normal and homoscedastic. Computed using PAST (version 2.17c, Hammer et al. 2001).

Table 6SM. Variance components from nested anovas of relative flower size. Computed in BIOMstat version 3.30s (Rohlf & Slice 2003).

Table 7SM. Mean relative flower size in three populations of A. talmonii and A. erskinei  (talm-Mucuge, talm-Lencois, ersk-Lencois). Values of selected percentiles and 95% confidence intervals. The bootstrap computed the mean of a sample of 25 RFS values (10.000 replications) from original RFS data set. Computed in R (R Core Team 2013).
