Replication Data for: File name = GPDs, Male ARS for sexual partners, all three study-colonies, 08 July 2026

I only made estimates or inferences that seemed reasonable. For example, if microsats showed that the single male that copulated with the mother sired 2 of 3 babies, I inferred paternity to that male for the third baby as well. Similarly, if microsats showed for a litter of 6 that one of two copulating males sired 2 babies and that the other of two copulating ales sired 2 babies, then I inferred paternity for 3 babies for both males.

If a female copulated with 2 males, for example, and 1 of the copulating males sired three of four babies and we have NO INFORMATION from microsats for the fourth babies, then I inferred that the male that sired three of the babies (from microsats) also sired the fourth baby as well. I only made this inference if the one male sired AT LEAST HALF of babies. So, if a female copulated with two males and weaned five babies, for example, and if one of the copulating males sired two babies and we have NO INFORMATION from microsats for the other three babies, I have NOT inferred paternities for any of those 3 babies.

For this file I have made no attempt to include information for body mass or age of the copulating males. Information on age and body mass vs male ARS and LRS is summarized in other chapters. This file has been checked TWO TIMES on 29-30 March 2021.

I have excluded some cases for which paternity makes no sense. File name = GPDs, Male ARS and LRS for cops, 13 Jan 2021 Date = 12 Jan 2021 This file is IDENTICAL to file = GPDs, MCs vs male body mass, ARS, 06 Jan 2021 I have created this identical file so that I can keep it with other ARS files See notes below from that file Note on 08 Feb 2021. These data are all from PEFO from 1989 through 1995 i.e., no data from RMC or VCC of VCNP GPD male = Nyanzol marker for male GPD Note, however, that the male did NOT necessarily sire all juveniles listed as babies Some of those babies were sired by other males For paternities, see information from Stephen Keller Each male had unique eartags.

This file has now been checked TWO TIMES ARS = Annual Reproductive Success LRS = Lifetime Reproductive Success OLD File name = GPDs, MCs vs male body mass, male cops, 08 Jan 2021 I derived this file from file = GPDs, MCs vs female body mass, ARS, 06 Jan 2021, which I checked ONE TIME ONLY on 05 Jan 2021 File name = GPDs, MCs vs male body mass, male cops, 08 Jan 2021 has been checked TWO TIMES ON 08 Jan 2021 A GPD male usually had the SAME EARTAGS in different years, but often had a different Nyanzol marker in different years For most analyses, I considered data from the same GPD male in different years to be statistically independent Babies = all babies weaned by all females with whom a GPD male copulated.

SOME of the babies might have been sired by the copulating male, but OTHER offspring might have been sired by other males that copulated with the GPD female Yearlings = all yearlings reared by all females with whom a GPD male copulated. SOME of the yrls might have been sired by the copulating male, but OTHER yrls might have been sired by other males that copulated with the GPD female Sex partners = minimal number of GPD females with whom GPD male copulated, with or without MCs by the copulating male Note also that GPD male-34 and GPD male 34#2 are DIFFERENT GPD MALES, and they have different Eartags Many of the notes above do not apply to Fig 20.1 for GPDs in Hoogland 2026 Microsats = microsatellites used to help assign maternities and paternities.

Note well: This file contains information on the number of sexual partners for GPD males at all three study-colonies. For information on male GPD ARS for litters sired, weanlings sired, and yearlings sired, I only have information from the RMC and VCC GPD study-colonies GPD Redondo Meadow Colony (RMC, studied in 2013 through 2016) was at Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP). GPD Visitor Center Colony (VCC, studied in 2017 and 2018) was also at VCNP.

GPD colony at Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO) was studied from 1989 through 1995. File name = Fig 20.1, GPDs, Male ARS for sexual partners, all three study-colonies, 08 July 2026
