Table 1: Likelihood ratio test for selecting the optimal model. Each test compared the fit of pairs of nested models. Model column shows the term excluded in the nested model. The complete model included environmental treatments (Control, Water, Nutrient and W+T), population origin (KY-31, Åland, Gotland and Sweden), endophyte colonization status (E+, M- and E-) and their interactions on total plant biomass (g), number of tillers and seed mass (g) of Schedonorus phoenix plants. The columns show the likelihood ratio (L.ratio) and the associated probability (p-value).

Table 2: Likelihood ratio test for selecting the optimal model. Each test compared the fit of pairs of nested models. Model column shows the term excluded in the nested model. The complete model included environmental treatments (Control, Water, Nutrient and W+T), population origin (KY-31, Åland, Gotland and Sweden), endophyte colonization status (E+, M- and E-) and their interactions on planicle/tiller ratio and reproductive effort of Schedonorus phoenix plants. The columns show the likelihood ratio (L.ratio) and the associated probability (p-value).

Table 3: Likelihood ratio test for selecting the optimal binomial model. Each test compared the fit of pairs of nested models. Model column shows the term excluded in the nested model. The complete model included environmental treatments (Control, Water, Nutrient and W+T), population origin (KY-31, Åland, Gotland and Sweden), endophyte colonization status (E+, M- and E-) and their interactions on the incidence of Claviceps spp. and plant survival of Schedonorus phoenix plants. The columns show the Chi-square (Chisq), the degrees of freedom (Df) and the associated probability (p-value).

Only the significance of the fixed factors and the interactions from the optimal model are reported.
