Relationship between shared paternity and territorial associations for dyadic interactions between morphs in the rock-paper-scissors system

	kinship		cervus
	Yellow	Orange	Yellow	Orange
Association of blue-throated territories
Observed	45	31	45	31
Expected	40.1	35.9	40.7	35.3
Association of blue-throated cosirings
Observed	12	20	7	14
Expected	16.9	15.1	11.3	9.7

	kinship		cervus
	Yellow	Blue	Yellow	Blue
Association of orange-throated territories
Observed	36	31	36	31
Expected	36.2	30.8	38.5	28.5
Association of orange-throated cosirings
Observed	24	20	14	6
Expected	23.8	20.2	11.5	8.5

Expected values are estimated from row and column totals in the 2 × 2 contingency table. Results from kinship and cervus analyses are identical: Blue-throated males share paternity less with yellow-throated males than would be expected from their spatial associations; shared paternity between orange-throated males and the other two morphs is not significantly different than would be predicted from their spatial associations.
