Fig 23.1. Percentage of BTPD and GPD females that showed natal dispersal vs number of close kin in natal territory, SUMMARIES, 30 July 2026 OLD File name. Fig 23.1. Percentage of BTPD and GPD females that showed natal dispersal vs number of close kin in natal territory, 24 April 2025. The number above each bar indicates the number of females that I could score for natal dispersal or natal nondispersal at <12 months after first emergence from the natal burrow. I did NOT score BTPD and GPD females that simply disappeared for unknown reasons—i.e., I only scored unambiguous natal dispersals within the home colony-site. Types of close kin included mother, littermate sister, and littermate brother. These data used for Fig 23.1 in Hoogland 2026. This file ready for longterm storage on 24 April 2025. This file checked TWO TIMES on 09 June 2022, and again on 27 July 2026 Similar BTPD and GPD data are in Hoogland JL. 2013. Prairie dogs disperse when all close kin have disappeared. Science 339:1205-1207. This file contains information from ALL THREE GPD colonies: PEFO, RMC, and VCC 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. All BTPD data are from single Rankin Ridge Colony at Wind Cave National Park This EXCEL file contains BTPD and GPD SUMMARIES. For more details and raw data, see the following EXCEL file: BGUW, Fig 23.1 through 23.7, Natal dispersal vs presence of close kin in natal territory, 30 July 2026 This file just described contains details and raw data for all four species of prairie dogs that I studied.
