Description

FILE DESCRIPTION Keywords: Gunnison's prairie dog, Colony sizes and colony compositions by year File name = Fig 11.1, Top right, GPDs, Colony sizes and compositions by year, 18 Dec 2025 SM males = sexually mature GPD males, some of them yearlings SM females = yearling and adult fems, all of which copulated, with 1-2 possible exceptions SIM yrl males = sexually immature yearling males, for which we found no evidence for copulation from either behavior or reproductive condition SOME gunnison males DID copulate as yearlings. If so, then I show these sexually active yearlings males as SM males These data have been checked TWO TIMES on 13 April 2020 SM = Sexually Mature = Sexually Active SI = Sexually Immature = Sexually Inactive YRL = Yearling Colony sizes are and other counts are for May of each year. If a GPD was alive for any part of May, then I used him or her in my calculation of Colony size--unless the UPD disappeared in the first day or two of May OLDFile name = GPDs, Colsize, colcomps, babies, 13 April 2020 This file checked TWO TIMES by JLH on 31 March 2020. Note: These three GPD data sets are from THREE DIFFERENT STUDY SITES. PEFO = Petrified Forest National Park RMC = Redondo Meadow Colony of Valles Caldera National Preserve VCC = Visitor Colony of Valles Caldera National Preserve Remember: For all three GPD colonies, I studied PART OF ONE LARGE COLONY I call that part the "Study site" or "Study area. "For more details on this point, see Chapters 4, 9, and 11. On 24 June 2020, I deleted 91 and BB6 from 31-R19A in 1994 This change affected colony size and colony density and also clan size and clan density and also number of SM females OLD File name = GPDs, Colsize, colcomps, babies, 25 June 2020 These data used for Fig 11.1 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 15 Feb 2025. Note: Counts of emergent juveniles in this EXCEL file INCLUDE babies never captured Weanling = juvenile at first emergence from the natal burrow entrance = baby Colony size = number of adults and yearlings in May For this EXCEL file, adult = prairie dog that was >=2 years old For this EXCEL file, yearlings were young adults that emerged from the natal nursery-burrow >9 months ago, but <20 months ago. File name = Fig 11.1, Top right, GPDs, Colony sizes and compositions by year, 18 Dec 2025
