Replication Data for: Fig 21.7, BTPDs, Whom did infanticidal females kill when presented with a choice, 28 July 2026

This EXCEL file and Fig 21.7 are highly similar to Fig 7.8 of Hoogland 1995 (page 142), with one exception: I have changed label and the bars for far left bars. Label now reads "Killer targeted offspring of mother who was NOT her closest kin"--vs previous "Killer chose mother to victimize who WAS her closest kin" I have made this change because the prediction is that a killer should choose a mother to to victimize that was NOT her closest kin.

Data in this file checked TWO TIMES for both Hoogland 1995 and Hoogland 2026. Note that this EXCEL file and Fig 21.7 compare infanticidal BTPD females vs the mothers of victimized litters--not infanticidal mothers vs the juvenile victim These data used for Fig 21.7 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 16 April 2025.

I considered data from the same prairie dog in different years to be independent. Expected values are frequencies that should have resulted if killing was independent of (a) kinship between killer and potential victimized mother, (b) proximity of nursery-burrow containing potential victims to nursery-burrow of killer, or (c) body mass of potential victimized mothers vs body mass of killer File name = Fig 21.7, BTPDs, Whom did infanticidal females kill when presented with a choice, 28 July 2026
