Males and females contribute unequally to offspring genetic diversity in the polygynandrous mating system of wild boar.
The maintenance of genetic diversity across generations depends on both the number of reproducing males and females. Variance in reproductive success, multiple paternity and litter size can all affect the relative contributions of male and female parents to genetic variation of progeny. The mating s...
