Replication data for Fig 14.13, WTPDs, Males, 5 months old, Autumn body mass vs survivorship, 08 May 2026

Date shown in this EXCEL files are means + one standard error (SEM) Note #1 for this EXCEL file: NO data for UPD autumn body masses vs survivorship, because I never captured and weighed UPDs in autumn Note # 2 for this WTPD EXCEL file: I cannot find raw data for BTPD autumn body masses, but see page 305 of Hoogland 1995 for BTPD data shown in Figure 14.13. For BTPD females >=1.5 years in October, the mean + SD body mass of BTPD females that DID survive until the next mating season was 829 + 106 grams (N = 285), and the mean + SD body mass of BTPD females that did NOT survive was 807 + 96.4 grams (N = 168).

This difference was significant (P = 0.022, Mann Whitney U test). Note that all body BTPD female body masses this comparison were from September or October, and all the BTPD female body masses were from BTPD females that were >=1.5 years old in September or October, and would have been >=2 years old for the next mating season. In other words: all the BTPD body masses here are from are from OLDER BTPD females, with NO DATA from BTPD females that were only 0.5 years old in September or October (and would have been one-year old (yearlings) in the following mating season.

The numbers for this comparison for BTPD female body masses in September or October vs survivorship until the next mating season were checked two times when I did the analysis for Hoogland 1995. For Fig 14.13, notice that comparison autumn body mass vs survivorship involved OLDER GPD males, with no data from GPD males that were only 0.5 years old.
