  1. a \(h^{2}\): heritability; \(g^{2}\): variance of group effects relative to phenotypic variance; \(p^{2}\): variance of permanent animal effects relative to phenotypic variance; \(l^{2}\): variance of litter effects relative to phenotypic variance; \(\sigma_{p}^{2}\): phenotypic variance
  2. bHPD 95%: highest posterior density interval at 95% with lower and upper limits
  3. cMCse: Monte Carlo standard error
