Replication Data for: "Multiple paternity and the number of offspring: A model reveals two major groups of species"

Contains R code and data to analyze the probability of multiple paternity among litters from mammalian, reptilian, amphibian, fish, and invertebrate species. Data on multiple paternity were obtained from the following publications: Avise, J.C., and Liu, J.X. (2010). Multiple mating and its relationship to alternative modes of gestation in male-pregnant versus female pregnant fish species. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, 107, 18915–18920. Avise, J.C., and Liu, J.X. (2011). Multiple mating and its relationship to brood size in pregnant fishes versus pregnant mammals and other viviparous vertebrates. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, 108, 7091–7095. Avise, J.C., Tatarenkov, A., and Liu, J.X. (2011). Multiple mating and clutch size in invertebrate brooders versus pregnant vertebrates. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, 108, 11512–11517. JAGS must be installed on the computer/machine before being able to run the R code. Please visit https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/ for more info.
