Banded mongooses avoid inbreeding when mating with members of the same natal group.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2015

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding and inbreeding avoidance are key factors in the evolution of animal societies, influencing dispersal and reproductive strategies which can affect relatedness structure and helping behaviours. In cooperative breeding systems, individuals typically avoid inbreeding through reproductive restraint and/or dispersing to breed outside their natal group. However, where groups contain multiple potential mates...
