Genetic analysis of the mating system of the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) in New Zealand farmland.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2000

Abstract excerpt

We examined male reproductive success in a common brushtail possum population in New Zealand farmland. Paternity was assigned to 66 of 91 pouch young (maternity known), using a likelihood approach applied to genotypes at six microsatellite loci having an overall average exclusion probability of around 99%. The distribution of number of offspring per male was L-shaped with a standardized variance of 1.52. At least...
