The abbreviations for traits are the same as in Table 1. Standard errors are given in parentheses. ** correlation estimates significantly different from 0 (p < 0.01); *** correlation estimates significantly different from 0 (p < 0.001); ns correlation estimates non-significantly different from 0 (p > 0.05)
