  1. σ 2 a and σ 2 m are the direct and maternal additive genetic variances and σ am is the direct-maternal genetic covariance. σ 2 s and σ 2 d are the paternal and maternal gametic variances and σ sd is the covariance between the paternal and maternal gametic effects. Finally, σ 2 e is the residual variance and L is the average logCPO across10 replicates.
