1Expressed as the relative % increase of evaluation p, i.e., (1/ρ^p,w1) 100.

2Partial: national evaluations (scenario NAT) where recorded phenotypes are available only at the country level.

3Whole: international evaluations (scenario CUR and REF) providing new information from other countries. Similarly, NONE is a partial evaluation relative to scenarios CUR and REF.

3Domestic: animals retained in the national evaluations for scenario NAT.

4Scenario: NAT = national single-trait evaluations, NONE = both rdm_WC and rdm_BC set to 0, CUR = rdm_WC used in the evaluation, and rdm_BC set to 0, REF = both rdm_WC and rdm_BC used in the evaluation. With rdm_WC = within-country direct-maternal genetic correlations, and rdm_BC = between-country direct-maternal genetic correlations.
