  1. Estimates of genetic correlations with standard errors (in parentheses) between the resilience indicators ln(variance), skewness, and autocorrelation based on average batch production for 1-week-intervals, but for different life periods for White (below the diagonal) and Brown (above the diagonal, italic)
  2. aNot tested, because one or both traits were not heritable (i.e. not significantly different from zero)
