rove

Offspring counts and proportional paternity by mating order for a breeding experiment of the rove beetle conducted by T Benken et al., (1999).

datasets

Tests the goodness of fit of a distribution of offspring to the Normal, Poisson, and Gamma distribution and estimates the proportional paternity of the second male (P2) based on the best fit distribution.
