We estimated the mean number of progeny sired by dead males in the second and third reproductive bouts of the season and compared those to the mean number of progeny sired by males in the first reproductive bout (in parentheses) when all males were still alive. Yellow-throated males sire significantly more posthumous offspring at the end of the reproductive season [kinship: Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) post-hoc comparisons O vs. Y, P = 0.01; O vs. B, P = 0.68; B vs. Y, P = 0.008; cervus: Fisher's LSD post-hoc comparisons O vs. Y, P = 0.87; O vs. B, P = 0.24; B vs. Y, P = 0.03].
