Using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing and sibship reconstruction, this shows that half-sibling relationships are more common than full-sibling relationships, indicating non-monogamous mating behaviour. The detection of related offspring over two years suggests recurrent reproduction by the same individuals and considerable male dispersal.24enSibship reconstructionParental careBiology::Evolutionary ZoologyHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
