Figure 2—source data 1
This xlxs-file contains the lifespan data for small Zambian Fukomys-mole rats that underlie Figure 2A,B.
Each row in the file contains data for one individual animal. Columns inform about individual animal IDs, birth date/year, sex, death date, the date on which data for that animal was compiled ('DataDate'), censorship, lifespan (in days) and additional notes whenever specific circumstances for that specific animal had to be reported. 'DeathDate' is empty if the animal was still alive at the time of data compilation ('DataDate'). In such cases, 'DataDate' was used as the date-of-censorship.
