Description of the parameters, data and estimates used in this study

Parameter Datum Rate Derivation Description
β Pollen attenuation parameter for the dispersal curve
X Shape parameter of the dispersal curve
αj Parameter from the magnitude of male fecundity for the jth adult tree in the plot
ni Number of allogamous offspring produced by the ith mother tree
Inline graphic Number of the ith mother's offspring whose paternal donors were not detected in the plot
nij(t) Number of the ith mother's allogamous offspring sired by jth pollen donor in the plot
nij(s) Number of offspring of the ith mother tree whose assigned paternal tree was the jth adult tree when the ith mother tree was located at the same position as the jth paternal donor (self-fertilization)
dij Horizontal distance in metres between the ith mother tree and the jth adult tree in the plot
ai 1 – misi Rate of allogamous offspring sired by a pollen donor inside the plot
mi Inline graphic/oi Rate of pollen dispersal from outside the plot to the ith mother tree (migration rate from outside the plot)
si nij(s)/oi Direct rate of selfing of the ith mother tree without considering the occurrence of the same adult tree genotype outside the plot
