Table 2.

Results from bivariate analyses of traits measured in different dietary environments; given are heritabilities (h2), genetic correlations (ρG), and genetic variances (σ2G) for each trait in the model and the P-values associated with the tests for complete pleiotropy and equality of genetic variance.*
