Table 2.
Mean (± SE) clutch number and gross reproductive outputs gained by the males as the single or one of the multiple bi-androus or polyandrous mates of the female jacanas. The coefficient of variation (CV, %) of each parameter is given in parentheses underneath for each respective category. Superscript letters and asterisks indicate a significantly larger value than other values with the same superscript letter under the same column category
