  1. See Table 2 for schematic overview of scenarios; “Macro–micro” = model accounting for both macro- and micro-environmental sensitivities; “Macro” = model with only macro-environmental sensitivity; “Micro” = model with only micro-environmental sensitivity; σ A int 2 = additive genetic variance of breeding value for intercept (true value = 0.3); σ A sl 2 = additive genetic variance of breeding value for slope (= macro-environmental sensitivity); σ A v 2 = additive genetic variance for environmental variance (= micro-environmental sensitivity), ρ A int , A v = ρ A int , A sl = ρ A sl , A v = 0; Np = number of replicates with covariance structures forced to be positive definite.
