  1. a Traits measured as a result of exposure to running wheels: running distance (revolutions/day), time spent running (i.e., cumulative 1-min intervals in which at least one revolution was recorded), average speed (total revolutions / time spent running), and maximum speed (highest number of revolutions in any one-minute interval
  2. b Mean running traits across five days (43–47) during mating. Throughout mating, males and females both had access to the running wheel and each contributed to the total
  3. c Mean running traits across seven days (48–54) of the gestation period. Days 48–54 occurred after a confirmed pregnancy (presence of vaginal plugs) and removal of the male, but prior to giving birth. Running wheel circumference was 1.1 m
