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 Inline graphic NO NO
FS diff. Inline graphic Inline graphic Inline graphica or Inline graphicbc
HS same NO Inline graphic NO
HS diff. Inline graphic Inline graphic Inline graphicb or Inline graphicac
Unrelated same NO NO Inline graphic
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.

a

When the group members of both individuals are full sibs.

b

When the group members of both individuals are half sibs.

c

Only those two covariances provide information to separate the direct and the indirect genetic variance.
