Table 2.

Heritability estimates of skin redness and darkness, with confidence intervals in parentheses. Analyses are presented for both the general model (where both sexes are considered; ‘all’) and for the sex-influenced analyses (where only same-sex parent–offspring dyads are considered; ‘females’ and ‘males’).
