  1. For each model, the log likelihood (log (L)) is presented. Models shown are the models ranked within two AIC units of the top model in descending order. The difference in AIC value with the model with the lowest AIC value is presented (Δ AIC). Weight = Akaike model weight, relative to all 9 models for each trait (see Methods for definition). V A additive genetic variance, V M maternal effects variance, V B block variance, V R residual variance.
