Table 1.

Re-mating frequency in observed pedigree and in randomizations, and comparison. Standard deviations given are for the distribution of percentages from the 1000 runs of the pedigree simulations. Z values and P values are given for a one-tailed test of the hypothesis that population-level re-mating frequency is significantly higher than would be expected in each randomization. The percentages themselves vary between males, females and pairs because of the different totals of each category in the denominator of the calculation: there are more pairs in total, and fewer individual males than individual females. After a Bonferroni adjustment for the 18 tests within this table, the significance level was taken as α = 0.003
