Table 2 Mating system parameters including multilocus selfing rate (sm), biparental inbreeding (b=tm−ts), the calculated primary selfing rate (sz) and primary biparental inbreeding rate (bz), and the female fitness advantage gained through lack of selfing (FAS) and biparental inbreeding differences (FAS+BI)

From: Mating system contributes only slightly to female maintenance in gynodioecious Geranium maculatum (Geraniaceae)
