TABLE 2 The relationship of the change in skull height in
juvenile (July) and adult S. araneus with weather variables
between 1953 and 2004. All regressions, except mean daily temperature
for juveniles, were corrected for autocorrelation (see Methods).r2 is the proportion of the data explained by
each weather variable; significant P values are shown in bold.
The direction of significant relationships is shown in parentheses.
There were fewer than 52 analysed years because we did not have skull
measurements from all years
