Published estimates of additive genetic variance in estimates of lifetime fitness in wild populations.

Lifetime fitness was estimated as the sum of offspring recruited into the breeding population (Lifetime Reproductive Success). The method of calculating the variance was based either on parent-offspring regression (PO) or on an animal model (AM). Sample sizes are denoted by n. For each organism and each sex, we report the mean, the additive genetic variance components with (between brackets) the standard error and its significance (non significant (n.s.) or PA)/mean).†Variance component and its standard error not reported by authors; variance component calculated as product of heritability and phenotypic variance.
