- The study examines the genetic structure of Brandt's voles, which live in social groups and have a male-biased dispersal, focusing on how mating systems and philopatry shape genetics.
- It tests three hypotheses: the existence of multiple paternity (MP) increasing genetic diversity among offspring, the occurrence of promiscuity among mates, and genetic relatedness among plural breeders due to female juveniles staying close to home.
- Results showed that MP was present in 46% of groups, leading to greater genetic diversity and lower relatedness among littermates, while plural breeding females were found to be closely related, indicating a strong kinship within social groups.
