Genetic Analysis of Twinning in Antarctic Fur Seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
Twinning in natural pinniped populations is often inferred from observations of suckling behavior, but this approach has been criticized because nonfilial nursing occurs at high frequencies in many seal species. Consequently, we used 9 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers to examine the parenta...
