Yearlings = number offspring that survived for >=9 months after first emergence from natal nursery-burrow. I considered data from the same male in different years to be independent. This file includes data from TWO GPD colonies only: Redondo Meadow Colony (RMC) at Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) and and Visitor Center Colony (VCC) of VCNP.
