Anova with a significant interaction term but non-significant main effects I've just carried out an ANOVA on my data
My data is comparing juvenile abundance, based upon distance from the nearest adult A and another factor B
Based upon the output A and B are non-significant, however A:B is significant
Just wondering what the best way is to interpret this.

It is fairly common to get this observation when conducting interaction effects test in ANOVA.
Since you've found the interaction to be significant, you can interpret that
the variables A and B jointly are able to explain the variation in your response variable.
One important thing to note is that when you've found the interaction to be significant, you have to keep the individual variables in the function.
In this case, A:B is significant so obviously interaction term should be present. In addition to this, you need to keep A and B in the equation as well even if they're not significant.
