Number of individuals and observations included in each analysis as well as raw trait means (s.d. in parentheses) are also presented. Significance of ratios was assessed using likelihood ratio tests
* P < 0.05
**P < 0.01
***P < 0.001.
Standard errors generated by ASReml are presented in parentheses.
