title: Replication data for: Fig 9.3, Bottom, Territory sizes, WTPDs, 03 Dec 2025

description: FILE DESCRIPTION Keywords: white-tails, territory size File name: Fig 9.3, Bottom, Territory sizes, WTPDs, 03 Dec 2025 OLDfile name = WTPDs, clans sizes, comps, 04 April 2020 Date = 04 April 2020 For WTPDs, I knew the exact area for the following study areas: 35-90, Jane, John, Kathleen, Oreo, Rick, and West Barn Triangle. I know these areas from calculations by David McCray of Valles Caldera National Preserve. From these exact areas, I have calculated the approximate area for each clan territory for 2006 through 2012. Usually I did that by dividing the exact area by the number of clans in each study area. But sometimes I gave more area to certain clans and less area to other clans, depending on our observations of who slept and interacted where. I have checked this file ONE TIME ONLY. Note well: For this file, I counted each male in a half-male coterie as 1 rather than 0.5. I used this same logic for half-male coteries of BTPDs and half-male clans of GPDs. Clan type = 0 = No male clan = no resident sexually mature male Clan type = 0.5 = half-male clan Clan type = 1 = one-male clan Clan type = 2 = two-male clan NM = No Male = No resident sexually mature male in home territory SM males = sexually mature males, regardless of age Ad fems = adult females, all of whom copulated SIM Yrl males = sexually immature yearling males Note well: I could not easily match territory size and clan density for for No-Male clans--so I have just entered NO DATA for values for territory size and clan density for NM clans These clan sizes are for MAY. If one SI male was in a clan and another SI male lived in that clan and shared another clan, I consider the number of SI males to be TWO. If two SI males shared the same two clans, then I consider each clan to have TWO SI males (e.g., 6A-42A and 6B-42Bin 2008). Some changes made on 04 April 2020: For 2012, I consider 13, 14, and 17 as sexually immature In 2009, I consider 38 as sexually immature For 2008, I consider 49 as sexually mature. Not sure about this assignment. For 2006, 21 was PS, No DT--so I consider him sexually mature 15, 20, and 38 all copulated in 2010 8 copulated in 2009 I did NOT calculate the territory sizes for certain WTPD clans. I knew the clan sizes for many clans but had not information about the territory size. I did NOT calculate the territory sizes for certain GPD clans at PEFO. I knew the clan sizes for many clans but had no information about the territory size. All data in this file checked TWO TIMES by JLH alone on 04 April 2020 Note on 21 April 2020: Notice that entry for clan-9-43 in 2011 is CORRECT-- i.e., no data for male-9, who disappeared in late March 2011 These data used for Figure 9.3, Bottom, in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 04 Feb 2025. File name: Fig 9.3, Bottom, Territory sizes, WTPDs, 03 Dec 2025 Clan size = number of adults and yearlings in home coterie territory Territory size is in hectares No information on number of burrow entrances per clan territory No information on territory sizes or burrow-counts for Utah prairie dogs Territory size is in hectares This EXCEL file has other information besides territory sizes No information for WTPDs for burrow-counts per territory.
