APPENDIX II.

Results of paternity assessments per litter and individual for each method and overall. Litter composition per site and midden number (S.M#) and age are listed in columns 1–3. Offspring are listed according to individual identification number (TK) and age is indicated as pup (p), pup in utero (p′), juvenile (j), or subadult (s). Results of paternity assessment for each individual for each method are indicated. Nonassignment is indicated in the same manner for all methods (×). Assignment of paternity is indicated in method I (exclusion) with individual identification (TK) of sire as well as number of mismatches in parentheses. Method II (relatedness) evaluations are reported as check marks (✓) when r-values for both offspring–sire and dam–sire pairs fell within range stipulated in the text. Significance values (P-values) for 1st-order offspring–sire relationships as estimated using Kinship 1.2 are indicated in superscript. Results per litter or family unit indicate nonassignment (none), ≥1 sire assigned (>1), the TK number of the sire assigned, or paternity unresolved (?). Overall paternity assignments are indicated in the same manner.
