Table 3.

Mean pairwise relatedness values for three measures of relatedness, Queller and Goodnight (1989) (r_qg), Lynch and Ritland (1999) (r_lr), and Wang (2002) (r_w), and Nason’s estimator of kinship (Loiselle et al., 1995) (F_N). Standard deviations are given in parentheses. Probability values are given from permutation tests that test whether relatedness within the specified category is greater than expected based on the background relatedness structure. Asterisks indicate statistical significance.
