Note: Trait–environmental variable combinations without a significant relationship are indicated with a dash (—); traits and environmental variables that did not have any significant relationships are not included in the table. Effect sizes are reported for significant relationships.
Abbreviations: L/W, length to width ratio; N, number of maternal lines; NA, maternal line was not a significant random effect for the trait (Supplemental Table 3).
Significance levels: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05.
