  1. GLMM analysis of components of promiscuous line and monogamous line founder (n = 100) reproductive success as determined by sex-specific markers with enclosure (n = 10) as a random effect and all other variables as fixed effects.
  2. * Offspring sweeps were conducted approximately every 35 days to remove and sacrifice pups for genetic analysis (thus preventing them from reaching sexual maturity) (n = 5).
