Genetic correlations between males and females (diagonal), between traits in males (above diagonal), and between traits in females (below diagonal), across all ages assuming no genotype-by-environment interaction
| Horn length | Body weight | Parasite load | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horn length | 0.223 ± 0.201 | 0.541 ± 0.143** | 0.151 ± 0.178 |
| Body weight | 0.097 ± 0.168 | 0.793 ± 0.246** | −0.530 ± 0.210** |
| Parasite load | 0.093 ± 0.202 | −0.278 ± 0.169 | 0.838 ± 0.273*** |
Estimates and standard error (± SE) were obtained from multivariate animal models (see methods, model 2). Significance from zero was assessed using log-likelihood-ratio tests: *P < 0.050; **P < 0.010; *** P < 0.001.
