Table 3.
Descriptive statistics of, and correlation coefficients and covariances between, the four traits measured in the study. All correlations were Pearson's (r) except those involving encapsulation, which were Spearman's rank correlations (rs). Descriptive statistics and covariances are presented to aid future meta-analyses.
