  1. aResults shown only for selection candidates in the most recent generation (i.e. generation 15), and the results are means of 10 replicates (and 95% confidence intervals)
  2. bGenomic preselection
  3. cNo preselection
  4. d10% of the male and 15% of the female selection candidates were preselected
  5. e5% of the males and 12.5% of the female selection candidates were preselected
