Strategic use of male alternative reproductive tactics in cooperatively breeding banded mongoose groups

Graham Birch, Hazel J. Nichols, Francis Mwanguhya, Jonathan D. Blount, Michael A. Cant

The paper investigates sneaky pesterer reproductive tactics in banded mongooses, finding they are rarely used as a stepping stone but instead as a backup strategy with lower reproductive success.
