Download1999
Smith, J.A., Bancroft, D.R., Clutton-Brock, T.H., MacColl, A.D., Pilkington, J., Coltman, D.W., Pemberton, J.M.
Variation in male lifetime breeding success (LBS) is central to understanding selection, yet it has rarely been measured in natural populations of large mammals. Here, we first describe variation in the opportunity for selection in cohorts of Soay rams (Ovis aries) on the archipelago of St....
