Comparison between the results regarding fluid build up and normal forces between C. morosus data from Drechsler and Federle(2006) and G. viridula (present study)

Gastrophysa viridulaCarausius morosus
Effect of fluid accumulation on shear stress Decrease to 44% Decrease to 32% 
 (Page's L test: L10,5=1888, P<0.001) (Page's L test: L7,10=1037, P<0.001) 
Effect of fluid depletion on shear stress Increase to 123%, from first to third  
 (Page's L test: L3,5=68, P=0.0089) No significant effect 
 No significant effect from third slide (ANOVA, F1,7=0.284, P>0.1) 
 (Page's L test: L8,5=816, P>0.05)  
Effect of increased normal forces on:   
   Friction force No significant effect Significant increase 
 (ANOVA: F2,15=2.015, P>0.05) (ANOVA, F1,19=8.05, P<0.01) 
   Contact area No significant effect Significant increase 
 (ANOVA: F2,15=2.482, P>0.05) (ANOVA, F1,19=45.8, P<0.001) 
   Shear stress No significant effect No significant effect 
 (ANOVA: F2,15=0.748, P>0.05) (ANOVA, F1,19=0.09, P>0.05)
