TABLE A1.
Expectations of full- and half-sib covariances in the data structure used in Wolf (2003)
| Tube composition

|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Covariance | Full-sib pairs | Half-sib pairs | Unrelated pairs |
| FS same | ![]() |
NO | NO |
| FS diff. | ![]() |
![]() |
a or bc

| HS same | NO | ![]() |
NO |
| HS diff. | ![]() |

b or ac

| Unrelated same | NO | NO | ![]() |
| Unrelated diff. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
FS, full sibs; HS, half sibs; same, in the same group; diff., in different groups; NO, this combination does not occur.
When the group members of both individuals are full sibs.
When the group members of both individuals are half sibs.
Only those two covariances provide information to separate the direct and the indirect genetic variance.
