Stem boring and ant occupation of six Brazilian Cerrado trees

There are 4 data sets. 1. Ant body size: average body size of ant species encountered in cavities. 2. Characteristics and inhabitants of cavities found in small stems (< 3 cm diameter) for the 6 tree species. Each data line is a different cavity. 3. Characteristics and inhabitants of cavities found in small stems (> 3 cm diameter) for the 6 tree species. Each data line is a different cavity. 4. Summary of measures by tree for both large and small stem data sets. All measurements are in cm except for ant body size measurements, which are in mm. When data are "missing" for ants and other invertebrates, no organisms were found in those cavities. The diameter measure for a cavity is the diameter of the cavity measured from one inside surface to the opposite inside surface. A wood diameter measure for a cavity is the diameter of the cavity plus the wood on the outside, i.e., the full diameter of the stem at the point of measurement.
