Replication Data for: WTPDs, Duration of Resmale residency, 29 July 2026

I only examine DAUGHTERS, with not attention to sons who might or might not have remained in the same territory until the 2nd year Resmale = Sexually active/mature male in a breeding (nonnatal) territory If no data or ambiguous from microsats, I verified that resident male copulated with mother whose daughter did or did not survive until the second year Cop = copulate or copulation Year = year when residency of prairie dog Resmale in breeding territory began Breeding territory = territory in which prairie dog male copulated Missing data = <.> = no information Microsats = microsatellites, which helped Steve Keller, Regina Trott, and me to assign maternities and paternities.

These data used for Fig 22.5 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 21 April 2025. An adult WTPD male was >=1 year old and had emerged from the natal burrow- entrance >=9 months ago.

Some daughters in year-2 = 0 = NO possible daughters remain in territory from first year until 2nd year Some daughters in year-2 = 1 = >=1 possible daughters remain in territory from first year until 2nd year Length of WTPD male residency = number of consecutive years that sexually mature WTPD Resmale remained in the same breeding territory. Note that this definition does NOT include sexually immature yearling males that were still in the natal territory.

Age = number of years since first emergence from natal burrow entrance. Sample sizes for each species are in labels along x-axis. All WTPD data in this figure are from Resmales that lived at study colony for at least 2 years.

Numbers below the x-axis indicate the number of males, and some long-lived males showed a length of male residency in more than one breeding territory. Important note here: Short duration of a single year in this EXCEL file and Fig 22.5 did NOT result from early death of male--because all males in in this EXCEL file and Fig 22.5 lived for at least 2 years. AWTPD Resmale was >=1 year old, was sexually active/mature, and had emerged from the natal burrow- entrance >=9 months ago.

If no data from microsats, I verified that resident male copulated with mother whose daughter did or did not survive until the second year File name = WTPDs, Duration of Resmale residency, 29 July 2026
