  1. Genetic correlations (rA, in italics) are above the diagonal, additive genetic variances are along the diagonal, and the additive genetic covariance between the traits are provided below the diagonal, with SEs for these parameters being provided in brackets. Heritability (h2) estimates for each trait are provided in a separate column (with SEs provided in brackets). Significant estimates of rA and h2 are in bold, where *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001
