1 Oikos OIK Munoz, F., Violle, C. and Cheptou, P.-O CSR ecological strategies and plant mating systems: outcrossing increases with competitiveness but stresstolerance is related to mixed mating. Oikos doi: /oik Appendix 1 Comparing mating system information from BiolFlor and from independent quantitative surveys By mainly referring to the review of Barrett et al. (1996) and to some later works (references below, along with the species names), we investigated whether the ordinal categories of BiolFlor (respectively, obligatory selfers, facultative selfers, mixed mating plants, facultative outcrossers and obligatory outcrossers; see main text) were consistent with direct quantitative estimates from surveys not included in the references of BiolFlor, and relying on genetic markers and progeny array analysis. We performed the comparison for a subset of 46 plant species (Fig. A1). We found the BiolFlor index to be consistent with the outcrossing estimates from independent surveys (Kendall s rank correlation τ = 0.72, p-value < 0.001). 1

2 Figure A1. Mating system index derived from the BiolFlor database (abscissa) compared to independent quantitative surveys (outcrossing rates on ordinates), for 46 plant species. Abbreviated BiolFlor categories are OblSelf = obligatory selfers, FacSelf = facultative selfers, Mix = mixed mating plants, FacOut = facultative outcrossers and OblOut = obligatory outcrossers. List of the 46 species, with corresponding progeny array data in brackets whenever the species is not included in Barrett et al.
