Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Controlled crosses had an overall female-biased sex ratio of 0.70–0‐72.
- Association Female bias increased with elevation.
- Observation The data did not support sex differences in size or flowering.
- Observation Family sex ratios ranged from 0.25 to 1.
- Observation Families included many female-biased, unbiased, and two male-biased families.
- Association Lower germination, establishment, survival or flowering did not predict stronger female bias.
- Observation The authors infer that female bias is already present in seeds.
- Mechanism The authors infer that sex differences do not generate the bias.
