The variance components p, a, d and ε quantify variation at the between-population (in situ and in common garden conditions), genetic, individual non-genetic and within-individual (environmental) levels, respectively, see the Methods section (equation [1]). The 95% credible intervals are indicated in brackets. See the Methods section for a description of QST, heritabilities hd2 and hd+ε2, and evolvability (e) estimates. The CD values used for computing e were 186.21, 187.00 and 183.57 days for all populations, low elevation and high elevation subsets, respectively. QST values for subsets of populations (low- and high-elevation populations) were computed from σpCommon2 and σa2 estimated separately for each of these two population subsets.
