Proportion of phenotypic variance accounted for by A, C, and E are shown in the top panel; proportion of phenotypic covariance accounted for by A, C, and E are shown in the bottom panel; a2, c2, e2 refer to the standardized genetic, shared environment and non-shared environmental variance or covariance; rA, rC, and rE refer to the genetic, shared environment, and non-shared environment correlations
