Family parameter estimates include narrow-sense heritability on the diagonal (bold) and type A additive genetic correlations below the diagonal. Seed source parameter estimates include proportion of phenotypic variance on the diagonal and type A seed source correlations below the diagonal (approximate standard errors of estimates are given in parentheses)
