aSee main text for explanation of absolute values exceeding 1.00.

bStandard deviation of all ψ estimates within each study; not indicated for studies presenting only one estimate.

cSome studies assessed variation in ψ across different contexts (e.g., ecological) or for different genotypes (e.g., across laboratory lines or strains: G × G epistasis or a G × G IGE).
