   Introduction
 
PARENTE is a user-friendly software package that conducts parentage inference using molecular data from diploid codominant markers. Based on the principle of genetic compatibility, PARENTE looks for maternity, paternity, or simultaneously for both potential parents, using multilocus genotypes and birth and death dates of individuals (if available). It also calculates the probability of successfully allocating an individual offspring to its parents. PARENTE is free and can be downloaded from: http://www2.ujf-grenoble.fr/leca/membres/manel.html.


   Parentage Analysis
 
Parentage analyses using multilocus genotypes are widely used to assess reproductive success, mating patterns, kinship, and fitness in natural populations and are gaining widespread use with the development of highly polymorphic molecular markers (Luikart and England 1999; Petrie and Kempenaers 1998. . .
