Population N Proportional male allocation
Mean (95% CI)
Oklawaha River 4 0.61 0.59–0.64
Dead River Lake 6 0.60 0.40–0.77
Little River 5 0.19 0.09–0.28
Mill Creek 6 0.24 0.16–0.32
Suntree Pond 6 0.40 0.34–0.49
Pickering Creek 6 0.35 0.19–0.51
Suwannee River Canal 4 0.30 0.24–0.36

For each individual, total spermatogenic and oogenic areas were determined by summing over four equidistant cross-sections through the visceral mass. Confidence intervals (CI) were determined as ordered observations 250 and 9,750 from 10,000 bootstrap random samples (with replacement) of N individuals for each population. N, number of individuals.
