  1. The number of individuals is given for three time points (1) at the beginning (2) during the health check and (3) at the end of the experiment. Counts are given for adult (with RFID tag) and young (only ear clip, without transponder) individuals separated by population background (i.e. pure MC, pure CB or mixed population background)
  2. Numbers for females and males are given in brackets and denoted as (males/females/unknown sex). Further, genotype frequencies per population per room and time point were calculated
