  1. We report on F-values for fixed effects and on χ2-values for random effects (i.e., ‘Genetics’). Significance of random effects was assessed using likelihood ratio tests. Significant P-values after the sequential Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05) are shown in bold. Denominator degrees of freedom (D DF) are calculated using the Satterthwaite’s approximation as implemented in the R package lmerTest. Popltn: Population.
