Replication data for Fig 14.7, 14.8, 14.9, BTPDs, male body mass vs copulations and weanlings, 05 May 2026

Year of mating = year when copulation(s) occurred Age = age in years since first emergence from natal nursery burrow For this file, Age = 1 = yearling, and Age = 2 = male of age >=2 = 2,3,4,5,or 6 years old So, for this EXCEL file, age has only two categories: 1 (yearlings) and adults (>=2 years old) See other files for more precise analysis of BTPD male age vs male copulations and weanlings sired. Sexual partners = number of different females with whom male copulated during mating season Weanlings = number of weanlings sired Weanling = juvenile offspring at first emergence from natal burrow-entrance Male body mass in autumn = body mass in previous autumn (details in other files) Male body mass during mating season = body mass just before, during, or just after mating season, which usually started in mid-to late February and continued until mid-March I defined mating season as time interval between (and including) the first copulation through last copulation at the study-colony Male body mass at 1st juvenile emergences = body mass just before, during, or just first appearance of weanlings in May or June For year, 75 = 1975, 76 = 1976, 80 = 1980, etc.

I considered data from the same male in different years to be independent. Notice that this file includes data from BOTH yearling BTPD males (1-year olds) AND >=2-year old BTPD males-- even though yearling BTPD males usually did not copulate. Body masses are all in GRAMS All data in this EXCEL file from single BTPD Rankin Ridge study-colony at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota Date = 06 Feb 2020 OLD file name = BTPDs, male wts vs cops, babies, I created this file from SYSTAT file = allmalwt, which I created on 03 Nov 1989 for Hoogland 1995 I assumed that I checked this file TWO TIMES at creation.
