Note: 95% CIs are computed from each parameter’s 200 bootstrap iterations (Efron & Tibshirani, 1993) for each scale. Non-shared environment is computed by subtracting the heritability, parental environment, sibling environment, and gene-environment (G-E) covariance from 1. For full parameter estimates, see SI Table S12. Column values add up to 1, total phenotypic variance.
