  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 the same life periods with 1-week-intervals 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)
