Table 3.

Mean (± SE) clutch number and gross reproductive outputs gained by the males of different mating orders among the 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
