  1. Estimates of genetic correlations with standard errors (in parentheses) of the resilience indicators ln(variance), skewness, and autocorrelation based on average batch production for the same life periods with 1-week-intervals and the antibody traits keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-binding IgM natural antibodies and KLH-binding IgG natural antibodies for White and Brown (italic)
  2. aNot tested, because the resilience indicator trait was not heritable (i.e. not significantly different from zero)
