  1. 1Posterior means from Bayesian analyses were conducted using BayesB procedures in GenSel with 51 000 iterations and the first 1000 iterations discarded as burn-in; variances are reported in squared units of degree of black; 2 “fixed effects” refers to the final model for degree of black, which included fixed effects of sire, family nested within sire, sex, and season of photograph; additional models including “with” indicates the inclusion of candidate region as fixed effect using the breed of origin genotype specified.
