Table 3 Summary of the (co)variance analyses performed in this study

From: Unraveling the phenotypic and genomic background of behavioral plasticity and temperament in North American Angus cattle

Abbreviation

Methodology

Objective

CT_RRM

Single-trait random regression (CT dataset)

Evaluate the genetic covariance structure of temperament across cows’ lifetime and explore a potential learning and behavioral plasticity component reflected by habituation

YT_CT_MT

Two-trait model (YT vs. CT)

Explore the genetic covariance structure between yearling and cow at weaning temperament (based on a repeatability model)

  1. CT: cow temperament measured at weaning; YT: yearling temperament
