Paternities from Constable et al. (2001) in italics. Parentheses indicate that the genotype was unavailable for the individual. GLI and GLD were twins and were treated as a single conception.

*

Numbers of males and oestrous females were averaged across two swelling cycles.

Consortships were included in the less restrictive analysis but removed in the strict analysis of father strategy.

Strategy was not assigned because of the lack of observations.
