Table 1. Variance in male pre- and postcopulatory success.

  MRS MMS PCS Covariance D
Unstandardized 0.023 0.009 0.009 0.010 −0.004
Standardized 0.842 0.341 0.316 0.347 −0.162
% Explained 100 40.5 37.5 41.3 −19.2
95% CI   26.0–64.6 24.8–57.3 27.6–59.3 −68.3–12.7

CI, confidence interval; MMS, male mating success; MRS, male reproductive success; PCS, postcopulatory success.

Variance in MRS explained by variance in MMS, PCS and their covariance (n=60) following ref. 26. D represents the remainder term accounting for high-order terms (the products of variances and covariances) and skewness in the data26. 95% CIs were obtained from a bootstrap distribution (10,000 samples with replacement).
