雌、雄蓋斑鬥魚各特徵測量值之平均值 ± 標準差（範圍）；以威爾卡森符號等級檢定（Wilcoxon signed-rank test）比較配對的雌、
雄個體在各特徵上之差異性（樣本數皆為58 組配對）。
α 值（0.05/8 = 0.0063）經過 Bonferroni 調整後為較保守的 0.0063。肥滿度 =（體重（克）/標準體長（公厘）3）× 105。（SL：標 準體長；BM：體重；CF：肥滿度；CFL：尾鰭長；T：睪固酮；KT：睪丸硬甾酮；E2：雌二醇；Cort：皮質醇；*P < 0.0063）

實驗室與動物園之雌、雄蓋斑鬥魚各特徵測量值之平均值 ± 標準差；以曼惠二氏檢定
（Mann－Whitney test）比較不同來源的實驗個體在各特徵上之差異性（自由度皆為 1）。
雄魚特徵比較之α 值（0.05/10 = 0.0050）經過 Bonferroni 調整後為較保守的 0.0050；雌 魚特徵比較之α 值（0.05/8 = 0.0063）經過 Bonferroni 調整後為較保守的 0.0063。肥滿 度 =（體重（克）/標準體長（公厘）3）× 105。（SL：標準體長；BM：體重；CF：肥

實驗室與動物園的蓋斑鬥魚配對有產卵之組數比例、產卵潛伏期之中間值（範圍）、以 及產卵量之平均值 ± 標準差。以卡方分析（Chi-square test）比較不同來源的配對在產 卵比例上之差異；以對數等級檢定（log-rank test）比較不同來源的配對在產卵潛伏期上 之差異；以曼惠二氏檢定（Mann－Whitney test）比較不同來源的配對在產卵量上之差 異。在蓋斑鬥魚配對是否產卵以及產卵潛伏期上，實驗室與動物園的樣本數分別為 31 組與27 組配對，在產卵量上的樣本數則各為 22 組配對（自由度皆為 1）。
