newt: Sperm Precedence Data from the Rough-Skinned Newt
Description
Offspring counts from two clutches and proportional paternity by mating order for a breeding experiment of the rough-skinned newt conducted by Jones et al., (2002)Format
A data frame with 10 observations on the following 10 variables.
Female- a numeric code to identify females.
No_1st_Clutch- total offspring in the first clutch.
P2_1- proportional paternity of the second male for the first clutch.
No_2nd_Male_1st_Clutch- total offspring sired by the second male from the first clutch.
No_2nd_Clutch- total offspring in the second clutch.
P2_2- proportional paternity of the second male for the second clutch.
No_2nd_Male_2nd_Clutch- total offspring sired by the second male from the second clutch.
Total_2nd_Male- total offspring sired by the second male from both clutches.
Total_Offspring- total offspring for both clutches.
Total_P2- total overall proportional paternity of the second male for both clutches.
