Finding fathers: spatio-temporal analysis of paternity assignment in grey seals (Halichoerus grypus).

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2006

Twiss Sean D, Poland Veronica F, Graves Jefferson A, Pomeroy Paddy P

Abstract excerpt

Molecular studies of pinniped breeding systems exhibit a broad range of agreement and disagreement with observational indices of male breeding success. Grey seal studies have reported considerable discrepancies between genetic and behavioural paternity measures that have been interpreted as evidence of previously unidentified male strategies and/or tactics. Therefore, these studies have the power to fundamentally...
