The Norway, Sweden and Finland populations are semi-domesticated, while all other populations are wild. For a detailed explanation of each variable, see the Methods section. Results are based on univariate regression models. D = semi-domesticated; W = wild; β = regression coefficient; SE = standard error; p = p-value; R² = R-squared; O = outliers. Statistically significant results (p < 0.05) are highlighted in bold. Coefficients with a p-value < 0.10 are underlined.
