Hi all!

I was recently asked to take a peek at inheritance/mutation rates in beetles, so here goes!

"Mutation" in this context would mean the larva born is of a different colour than either parent. The data for these clutches are always from same-colour parent pairings. Frequently this means that beetle pairings often throw other colours of their own rarity or lower.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predicted Beetle Colour Inheritance Chances:
Common Colours: 47.25% chance to pass per parent
Uncommon Colours: 46.25% chance to pass per parent
Rare Colours: 42.5% chance to pass per parent

Predicted mutation chances:
Common x Common Pairing: 5% chance of mutation
Uncommon x Uncommon Pairing: 7.5% chance of mutation
Rare x Rare Pairing: 15% chance of mutation

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cumulative findings so far:
Total common pairings: 63
Larva born: 119 (6 mutations: 5 commons, 3 uncommon)
Average clutch size: 1.888
Mutation%: 5.042% (83.333% common, 16.667% uncommon)

Total uncommon pairings: 57
Larva born: 121 (7 mutations: 7 commons)
Average clutch size: 2.122
Mutation%: 5.785% (100% common)

Total rare pairings: 67
Larva born: 126 (17 mutations: 14 commons, 3 uncommons)
Average clutch size: 1.880
Mutation%: 13.492% (82.352% common, 17.648% uncommon)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note on rare colours from mutations:
These are exceptionally rare! I think in the last year of maintaining my beetle colony I have seen maybe 3-4 instances of rare colourations mutating from any pairing. I am maintaining a population of ~3000-3500 beetles that span all variants in the game at the moment, so the chances are truly slim!

Hello! I don't have a lot of data for that unfortunately, but my best guess at a common x rare mutation rate would be something in the ballpark of 10% of the time!

Hey! I don’t have anywhere near as many beetles as you, but would you like me to send you any data I get from breeding to help out? Especially since I breed without regard for rarities as I’m focused on stats (and cleanliness for the clean lines), so I should be able to help out in the rates for breeding different colors together!

That'd be really interesting Lynx! Thank you for offering, if you could share your data here as replies that'd be much appreciated.

8 breedings worth of data for you at the moment, a lot of my guys are getting up in age so the floodgates will open soon haha, but since i just hatched a couple clutches today figure i'd start leaving posts with my data for the moment :)

they also have stat data as i'm interested in tracking that for myself (except for the first one since i did the breeding before deciding to also track stat data while i was at it haha), so just ignore the extra numbers lol!
