Adjusted p values were obtained from permutation-derived null distributions of Pearson’s correlation coefficients and corrected for multiple comparisons using the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR. Percentile values indicate the position of each observed correlation relative to the permutation-based null distribution. Bold rows indicate correlations falling within the upper or lower 2.5% of the null distribution and with permutation p < 0.05 (uncorrected). n indicates the number of animals included in each correlation analysis.
