Behavioural experiments on ants in response to silk moth larvae
Listed in DataCite
Behavioural experiments were performed on ants inhabiting thorns on Vachellia erioloba trees in Namibia to test their response to a major insect herbivore, the larvae of silk moth Gonometa postica .
Description
This dataset records the responses of ants to caterpillars, including their response time & how successful they were at evicting them. The results of analyses on the data are presented in "Thorn-dwelling ants provide antiherbivore defence for camelthorn trees, Vachellia erioloba , in Namibia" by Heather Campbell, Ian R. Townsend, Mark D. E. Fellowes, James M. Cook in African Journal of Ecology
