Replication Data for: Figs 16.6, 16.8, 16.10, WTPDs, Mating calls vs individual variation, sexual partners, and male body mass, 27 May 2026

This file has now been checked TWO TIMES MCs = total number of MCs given by male for all females with whom he copulated In this file, Number of MCs = number of sexual partners for which male gave at least one MC Percentage MCs = percentage of sexual partners for whom male gave at least one MC = Number of MCs / Sexpartners Weanlings sired = number of weanlings sired vs number of MC's for mother in different years were considered independent.

MC = Mating Call, defined in Chapter 16. 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 Sexual partners = number of different females with whom male copulated during mating season Weanling = juvenile offspring at first emergence from natal burrow-entrance 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 for GPDs, UPDs, and WTPDs Because I had information on eartags, I did NOT consider data from the same male in different years to be independent. but I DID consider data from the same WTPD male to be independent for Fig 16.6 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--but all yearling males in THIS file DID copulate.

Body masses are all in GRAMS These data used for Fig 16.6, 16.8, and Fig 16.10 in Hoogland 2026 ARS = Annual Reproductive Success This file ready for longterm storage on 22 March 2025. I sometimes considered data from the same prairie dog in different years to be independent (e.g., Fig 16.6 for TPDs) but not other times (e.g., Figs 16.8and 16.10 for WTPDs. A WTPD male will have the SAME EARTAGS in different years, but will have a different Dognum in different years For some analyses (e.g., Fig 16.6), I considered data from the same UPD male in different years to be statistically independent--but not so for other analyses (e.g., Figs 16.8 and 16.10) All data in this EXCEL file are from sexually mature males that copulated with at least one female.
