Neighbouring-group composition and within-group relatedness drive extra-group paternity rate in the European badger (Meles meles).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Oct 2014

Abstract excerpt

Extra-group paternity (EGP) occurs commonly among group-living mammals and plays an important role in mating systems and the dynamics of sexual selection; however, socio-ecological and genetic correlates of EGP have been underexplored. We use 23 years of demographic and genetic data from a high-density European badger (Meles meles) population, to investigate the relationship between the rate of EGP in litters and...
