Sire and Dam lines were treated as Random effects in the model and Thermal Treatment as a fixed effect. Fixed effect parameter estimates are displayed above the hatched lined for each trait (in italics). The percentage of total phenotypic variance explained by each random effects term and interaction is denoted in the right hand column of the table.
