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