Summary of posterior distributions of (A) variance components and latent‐scale heritability and (B) fixed effects from the genetic groups animal model for local juvenile survival. Fixed effect estimates are regression slopes, except the sex effect is the contrast of males from females. The regression slope on individual genetic group coefficient is the immigrant genetic group effect g. Statistics are the posterior mean and mode and the 95% highest posterior density credible interval (95%CI) on the latent logit scale. For fixed effects the proportion of posterior samples that were negative is also shown (prop<0). Residual variance was fixed to one by convention
