Benefits of polyandry data

This Excel file contains data on the 40 field-collected Onthophagus taurus females that were used to estimate rates of multiple mating and patterns of sperm utilization. Column descriptions: PW = prothorax width (in mm); Larvae = number of larvae produced by each female; Min_sires = minimum number of sires (based on GERUD); Standardized_skew = standardized paternity skew, calculated as: (Corrected paternity skew – minimum skew) / (Range); Skew_average = Average paternity skew based on the 50 most likely minimum father-solutions generated by GERUD; Corrected_skew = Average paternity skew corrected for sampling error; Corr_max_skew = Maximum possible value of skew for that female (given the observed number of fathers and clutch size), corrected for sample size Corr_min_skew = Minimum possible value of skew for that female (given the observed number of fathers and clutch size), corrected for sample size; Range = range of possible values of skew, calculated as: Corr_max_skew – Corr_min_skew; Columns M-R are used to manually calculate maximum possible value of skew for that female (given the observed number of fathers and clutch size); Columns S-X are used to manually calculate minimum possible value of skew for that female (given the observed number of fathers and clutch size)
