Mean number of sires within fruits and among fruits on a same plant, based on paternity assignment or estimation of the effective number of sires, Nep, on the basis of 1/rp, where rp is the probability that two individuals randomly chosen in a same progeny array are full-sibs (sibling-pair model [31]). Numbers beside data points refer to species and publications, listed here with sample sizes. 1: Ascelpias exaltata; 55 plants and 103 fruits [32]; 2: Ipomopsis aggregata; 12 plants, 28 fruits and 2–14 seeds/fruit [18]; 3: Raphanus sativus; nine plants, four to eight fruits/plant (total 59 fruits) and three to seven seeds/fruit [19]; 4: Silene latifolia; four populations, 15 plants/population, one fruit/plant and 20 seeds/fruit [33]; 5: Mimulus guttatus; three populations, 30 plants, two capsules/plant and 15 seeds/capsule [23]; 6: Mimulus rigens; 144 ramets, 204 fruits (total) and 10 seeds/fruit [34]; 7: Phaseolus vulgaris; year 1: 57 plants, 44 fruits/plant and five to seven seeds/fruit; year 2: 111 plants, 33 fruits/plant and five to seven seeds/fruit [25]; 8: Yucca filamentosa: 10 plants, three fruits/plant and 12 seeds/fruit [35]; 9: Glycine argyrea: 20 plants, two fruits/plant and six seeds/fruit [36]; 10: Grevillea iaspicula: average Nep over five populations, six to eight plants/population and 8–15 seeds/plant [37]; 11: Lambertia orbifolia; average Nep over four populations, 13–18 plants/population and 11.5–20.5 seeds/plant [38]; 12: Albizia julibrissin: 15 plants and 60 seeds/plant, [39]; 13: Pachira quinata: 15 plants, 20 fruits/plant and four seeds/fruit, [40]; 14: Eichhornia paniculata: 36 plants, 4.1±1.1 fruit/plant and five seeds/fruit [41]; 15: Mimulus guttatus: average Nep over two populations, two to three fruits/plant and 24 fruits/population [31]; 16: Centaurea corymbosa: 47 plants, eight seeds from single fruit/plant [42]; 17: Daviesia mimosoides: average Nep over five populations, 14–15 plants/population, 14–16 fruits/plant and one seed/fruit [43]; 18: Daviesia suaveolens: average Nep over three populations, 14–15 plants/population, 14–16 fruits/plant and one seed/fruit [43]; 19: Sorbus torminalis: 14 plants [44]; 20: Caryocar brasiliense: average Nep over four populations: 10 plants and 16 seeds/plant in each population [45]; 21: Centaurea solstitialis: average Nep over eight populations, 40 plants/population and 12 seeds from a single fruit head/plant [46]; 22: Eucalyptus rameliana: 31 plants, three to four fruits/plant and 33–39 seedlings/plant [47]; 23: Arabidopsis halleri: 22 plants, five fruits/plant and 26.7±21.9 s.d. seeds/plant [48].
