We address various statistical aspects of biological parentage in multi-offspring broods that arise via multiple paternity or multiple maternity and, hence, consist of mixtures of full- and half-sibs. Conditioned on population genetic parameters, computer simulations described herein permit estimation of: (1) the mean number of offspring needed to detect all parental gametes in a brood and (2) the relationship between the number of distinct parental gametes found in a brood and the number of parents. Results are relevant to the design of empirical studies employing molecular markers to assess genetic parentage in polygynous or polyandrous species with large broods, such as are found in many fishes, amphibians, insects, plants and other groups. The utility of this approach is illustrated using two empirical data sets.
