Number of offspring (N), trait means (longevity in days), number of sire (half-sib) and dam (full-sib) families (n), variance components for sires (VSire) and dams (VDam), additive genetic variation (VA), total phenotypic variation (Vp), residual variation (VR), narrow sense heritabilities (h2), mean-standardized additive genetic variances (Evolvabilities: CVA and IA), coefficient of phenotypic variation CVp, coefficient of residual variation CVR, and significance values for Sire and Dam effects (PSire and PDam). Standard errors (SE) are provided within brackets.
