Hi guys, I have a question with the results obtained in the software MLTR - Multilocus Mating System Program (Ritland). My result showed a negative value for the multilocus paternity correlation - rp(m). More deeply, using this negative value we would get a result for the mean number of pollen donor trees (Nep = 1/rp(m)) also negative. Is this normal? Does anyone know of any work that helps to understand this negative values? We are confused by this result.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Best Regards, Victor.
