Data Analyses

Differences in spider size frequency distribution between Rota and Guam were analyzed using Chi-Square Test. Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test variation in web diameter and web decoration length between islands (two levels: Rota, Guam) and between size classes (three levels: small, medium, large). Web decoration length was square-root transformed to improve normality. Significant tests were followed by pairwise comparisons using Student-Newman-Keul’s post hoc test. The relationship between web diameter and web decoration length for each island was analyzed using simple linear regression. Chi-Square Test was also performed to compare frequency of cruciate versus diagonal web decoration patterns between islands.
