  1. Cross-environmental correlations for each trait are on the diagonal. Pearson correlation coefficients are shown. Asterisks indicate significance: ^<0.07; *P<0.05; **P <0.01; ***P <0.001; ****P <0.0001. Boldface indicates Z-test significance differences at P <0.05 across environments for bivariate correlations.
