Table 2.

Heritabilities (with REML estimates of s.e.) owing to sires (Inline graphic) and dams (Inline graphic). Sire and dam heritabilities were compared using the delete-one sire jackknife procedure (Roff 2008). p-values from paired t-tests (pdiff; significant p-values highlighted in italics) are given for these comparisons.
