Pairwise comparison of relative telomere length of extra-pair male and within-pair mal

Relative telomere length of within-pair males versus the males that cuckolded them (<i>n</i> = 38 pairwise comparisons).

<p>The line represents the line of unity.</p

Data output corresponding to samples (lane 1–14) shown in Supplement 1.

<p>Statistical measurements produced by TELOMETRIC include the mean, median, mode, variance, and semi-interquartile range (SIR). The latter gives the spread in kilobases (kb) spanning the 25th to 75th percentiles (divided by 2).</p

Heritabilities of telomere length (kb) in sand lizards.

<p>In (a) males, the heritability between sons and sires was 1.23 (from a regression coefficient of 0.62±0.11, SE, n = 40). In (b) females, the heritability between dams and daughters was 0.52 (from a regression coefficient of 0.26±0.11, n = 55).</p

Response surface plot illustrating the effects on mean offspring survival of paternal TL and the mean sex ratio of their offspring sired throughout their life time (0 = all daughters).
