Figure 4

Proportion of realised outcross mating events with distance, showing (a) observed and random outcross pollination events with geographic distance (m) between plant pairs and (b) proportion of mating events with ranked distance between plant pairs. Realised mating events are based on the results of a paternity assignment of seeds (n=130) collected from 6 Eucalyptus caesia subsp. caesia in Boyagin Nature Reserve, Western Australia. Potential mating events are the distances between maternal trees and all potential sires. *Significant differences (P<0.01) between observed and potential mating events.
