2 Figure 1 Proportion of extremely discordant sibling pairs who are ostensibly full siblings but, in fact, are maternal half siblings. For each panel, the y-axis is the predicted proportion of half-sibling pairs (π*) after selection for extreme discordance, and the x-axis is the heritability of the trait used for selection. The plotted lines indicate π* for initial proportions of half siblings of π=.05 (solid line), .1 (dashed line), .15 (dash-dot line), and .20 (dotted line). A residual shared environmental correlation of .1 was specified for all traits.
