For each species is listed: whether it is self-compatible (SC), partially self-compatible (pSC) or self-incompatible (SI); its pollination mode (Poll), if it is either wind pollinated (W) or entomophilous (E); whether it is perennial (P), bisannual (Bisa) or annual (A) and, where known, the determination of sex (NC, nuclear–cytoplasmic; N, nuclear). This table reports the traits for which studies have found a female advantage, a female disavadvantage or no difference between females and hermaphrodites. When the same trait is found in several categories for a given species, it means that either different studies found contradictory results or that results vary according to the population or year. Abbreviation for the traits are the followings: NFL, number of flowers; FS, fruit set; SS, seed set; NS, number of seeds per plant; NF, number of fruits per plant; SM, seed mass or size; G, germination; Surv, survival of offspring; Surv-Ad, adult survival. Only results obtained on open-pollinated flowers are reported here. The column ‘FA’ summarizes all reported results, by indicating whether a female advantage has been statistically demonstrated by the original studies for at least one trait (FA), ambiguous cases (Amb.), species for which female advantage varies with populations (VAR) and species for which no female advantage has been found (NO). References tagged with an asterisk are those that were used for reporting data on sex ratios but not on fitness traits.
