Replication data for: WTPDs, scan samples of vigilance, males vs females, 05 November 2025

FILE DESCRIPTION Keywords: white-tailed prairie dog, scan samples of vigilance, males vs females File name = WTPDs, scan samples of vigilance, males vs females, 05 November 2025 OLD file name = Fig 7.3, Sexual asymmetry in vigilance, scan samples, WTPDs, 30 May 2025 OLD File name = WTPDs, Mean vigilance from SCANS, 01 My 2022 The column-headings here are obvious. Sex, Number of days for scan samples, and the mean percentage of vigilance over days of scan samples. The overall mean proportion of all daily means of SCAN SAMPLES is a single data point for 39 WTPD females and 10 WTPD males. Each data point is a single mean calculated from all the daily means from scan samples for each WTPD. These data are from 2007 only. I do not know WHY the scan samples from 2008 are not included with this file. This file checked TWO TIMES on 01 May 2022 by JLH alone All scan samples are from 2007 I created this file directly by exporting SYSTAT file named Vig2007.SYS, which I created on 29 Jan 2010 I used this file for Hoogland et al. 2013, and I assumed that I checked it TWO TIMES at creation WTPD = unique number for each WTPD. I should have used eartag here. Sigh Sex = 1 = male and Sex = 2 = female Each line in this file is the MEAN VALUE that uses one estimate for each day of scan samples On each day, we usually had several scan samples of vigilance for each WTPD The Number of days for scan samples shows the number of days for which we recorded scan samples for each WTPD Note that the data in this file is for overall mean PROPORTIONS. To convert to overall mean PERCENTAGES for Figs 7.1 and 7.2, I multiplied proportions by 100. WTPD marker is the Nyanzol marker. No eartag information in this file. But each Nyanzol marker in this file = unique (N = 50 unique WTPDs for scan samples). These data were first reported in the following publication: Hoogland, J. L., S. L. Hale, A. D. Kirk, and Y. D. Sui. 2013. Individual variation in vigilance among white-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys leucurus). Southwestern Naturalist 58:279-285. For statistical analyses of WTPD scan samples, I used a single mean estimate of vigilance per individual over the entire field season calculated from single mean percentages of vigilance per day from all daily scan samples. These data used for Fig 7.3 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 30 May 2025. For statistical analysis of Fig 7.3, I used a SINGLE DATA point for 39 WTPD females and 10 WTPD males. Each single data point was a mean of all the daily mean estimates for each WTPD. File name = WTPDs, scan samples of vigilance, males vs females, 05 November 2025 Note: Sumary data in Fig 7.3 from scan samples from UPDs are from research by Theodore Manno P-value estimated for UPDs from Manno (2007, page 559) Means + SEs for UPDs are CLOSE ESTIMATES from Figure 3a of Manno (2007, plus personal communication) Raw data for Manno's research are NOT AVAILABLE--Theo could not find them.
