Numbers in parentheses indicate litters which either showed evidence of mutational events or only had two embryos; these litters were excluded from studies of multiple paternity (see text).
The number of litters that showed evidence of multiple paternity.
The maximum distance between collecting localities within a population.
Expected frequency of heterozygotes. Average HE = 0.69.
Observed frequency of heterozygotes. Average HO = 0.62.
Significant departures from expected and observed frequency of heterozygotes judged by Markov chain permutation tests (see text).
Not applicable since expected and observed heterozygosities could not be reliably estimated from only two mothers.
