28. The change in temperature across latitudes and continents over time was examined with a stratified linear model [a second-degree polynomial slope (Fig. 1A) provided a marginally better fit than a simple linear model]. We could not reject homogeneity of slopes within continents over time, so we fitted a common slope for the two time periods within each continent and carried out analysis of covariance, testing for a significant change among time samples over the within-site mean squares.
29. The change in chromosome frequencies over time was examined with a stratified linear model, as in (28). A second-degree polynomial gave a substantially better fit than a simple linear model.
