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; r_A, r_C, and r_E refer to the genetic, shared environment, and non-shared environment correlations
