Table 1.

Five distinct contrasts used through a linear model to compare the phenotypic breeding boar groups.

Contrast	Group1	Group2	Purpose of Contrast
HvL	HF	LF	to compare genomic data between HF and LF individuals
H_LSvsMA	H_LS	H_MA	to compare the effect of the sampling date between late-summer (LS) and mid-autumn (MA) on HF individuals
L_LSvsMA	L_LS	L_MA	to compare the effect of the sampling date between late-summer (LS) and mid-autumn (MA) on LF individuals
HvsL_LS	H_LS	L_LS	to compare genomic data between HF and LF individuals at the LS sampling period
HvsL_MA	H_MA	L_MA	to compare genomic data between HF and LF individuals at the MA sampling period

HF = high fertility, LF = low fertility, LS = late-summer, LA = late-autumn, and MA = mid-autumn.
