Table 2 Means and s.d. are reported for population outcrossing rate (t) and adult inbreeding coefficient (F) from a survey of published mating system studies that lacked maternal genotype information for progeny arrays

  1. Abbreviations: NF, number of observations of F; Nt, number of observations of t; Species NF, number of species from which the observations of F were derived; Species Nt, number of species from which the observations of t were derived.
  2. Observations of t and F were from populations, species or morphotypes. Progeny arrays fell into two size categories: <8 or ⩾8. The same species could be present in both categories if progeny array size differed among populations and/or morphotypes.
