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

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