  37. <meta content="We report on likely mixed paternity in a natural population of snow skinks (Niveoscincus
  38. mirolepidotus) from alpine Tasmania, Australia. This species is nonterritorial and males guard females after
  39. copulation, suggesting that guarding behavior has evolved to prevent rival mating of still-receptive females. To
  40. what degree does this mate-guarding prevent rival copulations? We sampled gravid females at random in the
  41. wild and looked for within-clutch mixed paternity among their offspring using amplified fragment length
  42. polymorphism (AFLP). Incorporating all visualized fragments, offspring band-sharing based on maternal
  43. bands was 0.94 (60.05, SD), whereas for paternal fragments it was 0.54 (60.46, SD). We then tested paternal
  44. band-sharing scores for all young of pairs against the mean score of the maternally inherited fragments to
  45. assess whether paternal genetic variation was larger than for a known single parent, hence, suggesting multiple
  46. sires. To reduce the risk of unequal sampling of polymorphic maternal and paternal fragments, we based our
  47. statistical tests on heterozygous bands only. Offspring band sharing based on maternal heterozygous fragments
  48. was on average 0.68 (60.22, SD), versus 0.35 (60.33, SD) based on paternally inherited fragments. In six of
  49. eight clutches (75%), at least one pair of young in a clutch had paternal scores outside of the confidence
  50. interval for a single parent (i.e., the mother). Thus, mixed paternity seems to be widespread in this population,
  51. despite prolonged postcopulatory mate-guarding by males.

  311. mirolepidotus) from alpine Tasmania, Australia. This species is nonterritorial and males guard females after&#13;
  312. copulation, suggesting that guarding behavior has evolved to prevent rival mating of still-receptive females. To&#13;
  313. what degree does this mate-guarding prevent rival copulations? We sampled gravid females at random in the&#13;
  314. wild and looked for within-clutch mixed paternity among their offspring using amplified fragment length&#13;
  315. polymorphism (AFLP). Incorporating all visualized fragments, offspring band-sharing based on maternal&#13;
  316. bands was 0.94 (60.05, SD), whereas for paternal fragments it was 0.54 (60.46, SD). We then tested paternal&#13;
  317. band-sharing scores for all young of pairs against the mean score of the maternally inherited fragments to&#13;
  318. assess whether paternal genetic variation was larger than for a known single parent, hence, suggesting multiple&#13;
  319. sires. To reduce the risk of unequal sampling of polymorphic maternal and paternal fragments, we based our&#13;
  320. statistical tests on heterozygous bands only. Offspring band sharing based on maternal heterozygous fragments&#13;
  321. was on average 0.68 (60.22, SD), versus 0.35 (60.33, SD) based on paternally inherited fragments. In six of&#13;
  322. eight clutches (75%), at least one pair of young in a clutch had paternal scores outside of the confidence&#13;
  323. interval for a single parent (i.e., the mother). Thus, mixed paternity seems to be widespread in this population,&#13;
  324. despite prolonged postcopulatory mate-guarding by males.&#13;
