Table 4 also shows that both short (<5Mb) and long (>5Mb) ROHs affected personality traits highly significantly, and in the same directions to very similar degrees. ROH (short) and ROH (long) did not correlate very highly with each other (r=0.40), and both predicted the traits when entered together in multiple regression (data not shown), implying very similar and somewhat independent effects of distant and close inbreeding, respectively.
