摘要: Previous observations have suggested that European hedgehogs Erinaceus europaeus are promiscuous, although there been no direct studies of the mating system to confirm this. In this study, genetic hedgehog was assessed by analysing mother–offspring groups using six polymorphic microsatellite loci. Evidence multiple paternity found in two five litters analysed and therefore demonstrates occurrence polyandry wild populations hedgehogs.
