But it mainly affected the more than one and a half million black Zimbabweans, many of them poor farmworkers, who had paternal links to the former Central African Federation and elsewhere.
There will be misassigned paternal links in the collared flycatcher pedigree, because about 15% of offspring are not sired by their social father, i.e. the male that provides care for them during the nestling phase [20].
Of the remaining data, those that could be used for the pedigree analyses (recruits and their parents) consisted of n = 2138 male FPS records and n = 1971 female mate FPS records from n = 1380 recruits and their parents (n = 1354 maternal and n = 1205 paternal links).
When combining data on both sexes, 2557 individuals were scored for at least one trait, with the informative pedigree consisting of 2368 maternal links and 1573 paternal links.
The RM pedigree consisted of 168 paternal links (43 sires, 3.9 ± 3.3 offspring per sire) and 172 maternal links (71 dams, 2.4 ± 1.3 offspring per dam).
The informative pedigree for these traits consisted of 1327 maternal links (including mothers that lacked phenotypic information but were informative for relatedness) and 893 paternal links.
For paternal links, "dummy" sires were created to represent half-sibships between groups of offspring identified by COLONY to have a common (unsampled) father.
For males a total of 1369 individuals were measured for at least one trait and the informative pedigree consisted of 1586 maternal links and 1077 paternal links (of which 141 were dummy sires).
The NBR pedigree contained 184 paternal links (42 sires, mean ± 1 SD of 4.4 ± 3.5 offspring per sire) and 173 maternal links (51 dams, 3.4 ± 2.1 offspring per dam).
