a

Matings are considered “productive” if at least one offspring was born.

b

“Relative fecundity” is obtained as: (productive mating/100)×(litter size)×(number of litters); the value obtained is a measure of the overall fecundity according to the Handbook of Genetically Standardized JAX Mice [33].

c

The same hyh male had two productive matings.
