title: Data from: Effects of home range size and burrow fidelity on survival and reproduction in eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) across different environmental contexts

description: Survival and reproductive success are greatly influenced by individual
 habitat selection and space use, which can both differ across spatial
 scales. To better understand habitat-fitness relationships of animals, it
 is essential to study space use at multiple spatial scales. Here we used
 13 years of capture-mark-recapture and burrow location data to investigate
 how two different aspects of space use influence the survival and female
 reproduction in a wild population of eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus)
 in southern Québec. We quantified home range size and site fidelity in a
 population experiencing massive inter-annual variations in food
 availability due to the masting of American beech trees (Fagus
 grandifolia). We found that site fidelity increased the probability of
 reproduction but that this effect was strongly dependent on the context of
 beech seed production: probability of reproduction was higher for females
 that were faithful from a mast year to the following non-mast year. Site
 fidelity was not related to survival and we found no significant effect of
 home range size on either fitness trait. Our results indicate that
 different aspects of space use do not affect fitness traits in the same
 way in our study system and highlight the importance of examining multiple
 spatial scales in related analyses.
