GPDs, Males, Weanlings vs yearlings sired in single year, 21 April 2026 OLD File name: Fig 13.13. GPDs, Males, Weanlings vs yearlings in single year, 28 Feb 2025 Weanling = offspring that emerged from natal nursery-burrow Yearling = weanling that survived for >=9 months after first emergence from natal nursery-burrow Numbers shown for yearlings are Means + one Standard Error (SEM) This file includes information from only those males that copulated with at least one female so, no data from certain yearling GPD males and a few adult males that did not copulate The number above each SEM in Fig 13.13 line indicates the number of males for which I have data. I considered data from the same male in different years to be independent. Please see Chapters 4 and 20 for methods for assigning paternities of prairie dog weanlings. These data used for Figure 13.13 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 28 Feb 2025. Standard errors were usually small, because my sample sizes for each age were large. In some cases, I have shown SEM = 0.5 for numbers of sired weanlings or sired yearlings to show small SEMs that extend slightly beyond the circles— because showing slightly inflated SEMs is better than suggesting no variation at all, in my opinion. All these data from RMC and VCC of VCNP, because these are the only colonies for which I have information on paternities from microsatellites via Steve Keller and Regina Trott-- --no data from Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO) RMC = Redondo Meadow Colony, VCC = Visitor Center Colony, both of which were at Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) Note that these GPD data are summaries only--not the raw data as for UPDs and WTPDs, I have the raw data somewhere, but have not included them here. No data for GPD males that sired 1 weanling or 9 weanlings in a single year File name: Fig 13.13. GPDs, Males, Weanlings vs yearlings sired in single year, 21 April 2026
