Neighbouring-group composition and within-group relatedness drive extra-group paternity rate in the European badger (Meles meles)

Extra-group paternity (EGP) occurs commonly among group-living mammals and plays an important role in mating systems and the dynamics of sexual selection; however, socio-ecological and genetic correlates of EGP have been underexplored.
