Table 1.

Number of offspring sired by each father in families showing evidence of polyandry

Family Number of offspring
Family 55 15
 Father 1 1
 Father 2 14
Family 48 23
 Father 1 1
 Father 2 10
 Father 1 or 2 12
Family 33 44
 Father 1 1

 Father 3 35

For each polyandrous family, the number of offspring sired by each father was estimated by GERRUD. Offspring were assigned to a single father only if their genotype unambiguously supported that assignment. Otherwise, they were listed as belonging to either of the fathers.
