Replication data for: Fig 10.2, Upper left, BTPDs, coterie size vs coterie type vs copulating females, 10 Dec 2025

FILE DESCRIPTION Keywords: black-tailed prairie dog, coterie size, coterie type, copulating females File name = Fig 10.2, Upper left, BTPDs, coterie size vs coterie type vs copulating females, 10 Dec 2025 OLDFile name = BTPDs, Cottype vs cotsize and vs copfems, 11 Feb 2025 This file is IDENTICAL to BTPDs, Male ARS for cops, babies, and yearlings vs coterie size, 02 Sept 2021 See notes immediately below. I also studied BTPDs at my study colony in 1987. I do not know why 1987 data are not shown here. I created this file from SYSTAT file = MRSVSCOT.SYS, which I created on 10 Oct 1989 I assume that I checked this file TWO TIMES for my first book (Hoogland 1995) File name = BTPDs, Male ARS for cops, babies, and yearlings vs coterie size, 02 Sept 2021 In this file, cops = number of sexual partners, babies = number of emergent babies sired, and yearling = number of yearlings sired for BTPD males Year = year when coterie was scored for coterie size, coterie type, and so forth. Cotsize = coterie size = number of adult and yearling BTPDs living in same coterie territory Cottype = Coterie type. See below for definitions. Females that copulated = number of females in coterie that copulated Litters = number of litters weaned for each coterie All sirings determined via electrophoresis by David Foltz Weanlings = number juveniles in coterie that emerged from natal burrow entrance Yearling = number of weanlings in coterie that survived for >=9 months These data used for Figure 10.2 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 11 Feb 2025. Adult females = number of >=2-year old females All females = number of adult and yearling females No-male coterie had no resident sexually mature male in May Half-male coterie shared a single sexually mature male in May with another coterie One-male coterie had a single resident sexually mature male in May Multi-male coterie had >=2 sexually mature males in May For more information about coterie types, see Chapter 10 of Hoogland 2025 Yrlfems = yearling females = females that were one-year old MOST yearling BTPD females did not copulate, but a few did. File name = Fig 10.2, Upper left, BTPDs, coterie size vs coterie type vs copulating females, 10 Dec 2025 All BTPD coterie sizes and coterie types are from either April or MAY.
