  1. Number of observations (N), half-sib families (sires), full-sib families (dams), mean, standard deviation (SD), minimum (min) and maximum (max) for each of the four traits. The total number of offspring with records was 7900, which is the sum of the offspring with a survival record at the larval or adult stage. Larval size and development time were recorded for the surviving proportion of the offspring
