Data to "The head anatomy of Protanilla lini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Leptanillinae), with a hypothesis of their mandibular movement" by Richter et al. in Myrmecological News

This dataset contains the µCT-Scan data used in the study "The head anatomy of Protanilla lini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Leptanillinae), with a hypothesis of their mandibular movement" by Richter et al., published in Myrmecological News. The datasets for CASENT0709417 and CASENT0790210 (both of the species <em>Protanilla lini</em>, the latter is a specimen with extended maxillolabial complex) are deposited as they were used in this study (with transformation to adjust the orientation of the ant head to the global axes and cropped to reduce file size) while the two scans of CASENTCASENT742972 (one with opened and one with closed mandibles) are deposited as the original scanning result as they were not modified for the work in this article. All datasets are deposited as DICOM image stacks. The details of the scanning methods used can be found in the materials and methods section of the article. In addition, the file "Richter_et_al_Table_S1_examined_specimens" contains specimen data for the used specimens, the file "MicroCT_specimen data_1" contains scanning parameters for the specimens CASENT0709417 and CASENT742972 and the file "Protanilla_lini_CASENT0790210_Scan_log.log" contains all scanning parameters for the specimen CASENT0790210. <br> <br> Furthermore, there is a 3d-rendering video of the head of specimen CASENT0709417 produced with the software CG Studio Max 3.4 (Volume Graphics, Heidelberg, Germany) "Protanilla_linii_CASENT0709417_render_video.mp4" and a video of experiments with a 3d printed model of the same head as described in the material and methods section in the Myrmecological News article: "Richter_et_al_VideoS5.avi".本数据集包含Richter等人发表于《蚁学新闻（Myrmecological News）》的研究《林氏原针蚁（Protanilla lini，膜翅目：蚁科：细蚁亚科）的头部解剖结构及其颚部运动假说》中所使用的显微CT扫描（µCT-Scan）数据。标本CASENT0709417与CASENT0790210（二者均为林氏原针蚁标本，后者为带有延长的下颚唇复合体（maxillolabial complex）的标本）的数据集已按照本研究中的使用形式存档：已进行坐标变换以将蚂蚁头部朝向调整至全局坐标系，并通过裁剪操作减小文件体积。而标本CASENT742972的两组扫描数据（一组对应颚部张开状态，一组对应颚部闭合状态）则以原始扫描结果存档，未针对本文研究进行任何修改。所有数据集均以DICOM图像栈（DICOM image stacks）格式存储。扫描方法的详细细节可参见该论文的材料与方法章节。此外，文件"Richter_et_al_Table_S1_examined_specimens"包含本研究所用标本的相关数据；文件"MicroCT_specimen data_1"包含标本CASENT0709417与CASENT742972的扫描参数；文件"Protanilla_lini_CASENT0790210_Scan_log.log"则包含标本CASENT0790210的全部扫描参数。除此之外，还包含由德国海德堡Volume Graphics公司开发的CG Studio Max 3.4软件制作的标本CASENT0709417头部三维渲染视频"Protanilla_linii_CASENT0709417_render_video.mp4"，以及对应《蚁学新闻（Myrmecological News）》论文材料与方法章节所述内容的同款头部3D打印模型实验视频"Richter_et_al_VideoS5.avi"。
