Shown are covariances of each pair of traits in the early and late-developing skull groups calculated from phenotypic, genetic (single-locus effects + epistatic), additive genetic, dominance genetic, single-locus (additive and dominance effects), epistatic, and environmental covariances. Correlations in parentheses were calculated by standardizing covariances with the appropriate variances of the traits.
