Males (N = 23) are ordered first by number of offspring sired, then by number of conceptions possible for each. Individuals in bold achieved alpha status.
At the end of his alpha tenure, GB sustained bad wounds to his testicles in a fight, after which he was thought to be sterile (he sired no further offspring).
Ungenotyped candidates.
