  1. Results of a PGLS model with square-root transformed reflectance values as response variable. The full model was significantly better than the null model (X2 = 21.614, df = 9, p < 0.05). The interaction between syndrome and site was not significant (Χ2 = 4.741, df = 4, P = 0.315) and was thus removed from the model in order to establish P-values for the main effects.
