Table 2 Results of multiple comparisons applied to maximum frequency values. fmax (Dunn method). The test computes statistic Q. the number of rank sums. and shows whether P < 0.05 or not for the pair being compared. P is the probability that the null hypothesis may be rejected and so concludes that there are differences between treatments. Diff of ranks is the difference in the rank sum orders being compared. The rank sums are a measure of the difference between two treatments.
