<strong>Overview</strong> Data used for manuscript: <em>Temnothorax rugatulus</em> ants do not change their nest walls in response to environmental humidity <strong>Structure of the data</strong> SupplementalHygrometerDatabase.csv Raw hygrometer data that is used to calculate the average environmental humidity and temperature for each Trial:Salt combination Colony: Unique experimental colony identifiers TrialNumber: Sequential trial number (1-4) that is NOT unique for each colony - see "Trial" Salt: Saturated salt solution used "Date Time, GMT-07:00": Date and time of each observation Temp: Temperature in celcius RH: Relative humidity (%) Trial: The trial number for each individual colony, each colony underwent two trials HumidityExperimentalDatabase.csv Raw experimental data with nest features and colony size Colony: Unique experimental colony identifiers Trial: The trial number for each individual colony, each colony underwent two trials TrialNumber: Sequential trial number (1-4) that is NOT unique for each colony - see "Trial" Day: The day in the experimental timeline (always 10, but days 1 and 5 were captured and not considered) Area: Area of the built nest wall (mm<sup>2</sup>) Length: Length of the built nest wall (mm) Nest.Area: Area of the internal nest space (mm<sup>2</sup>) HumLevel: Whether the colony started with a higher or lower relative humidity (High/Low) Number.Ant: The number of workers in the colony Number.Brood: The number of brood in the colony Number.Queens: The number of brood in the colony Salt: Saturated salt solution used SubstrateISide: Substrate I placement in the container from the perspective of looking out from the nest entrance StartWtI: The initial weight (g) of the available substrate I building nest wall material UsedWtI: The weight (g) of the available substrate I building nest wall material following the experimental building phase StartWtII: The initial weight (g) of the available substrate II building nest wall material UsedWtII: The weight (g) of the available substrate II building nest wall material following the experimental building phase CollWallWt: The weight (g) of the experimental nest wall that each colony built HumidMortalityRaw.csv Raw experimental data with proportion of workers and brood dead after each colony underwent Trial 1 Colony: Unique experimental colony identifiers WorkerDeath: Proportion of workers that died BroodDeath: Proportion of brood that died TrialNumber: Sequential trial number (1-4) that is NOT unique for each colony PorosityComparisonRaw.csv Data used for comparing the porosities of each experimental substrate, experimentally built walls, and collected <em>Temnothorax rugatulus</em> walls Porosity is the percentage of void space in compact substrate - PoreVolume/TotalVolume SubstrateID: A unique identifier for each substrate replicate Trial: The trial number for each individual colony, each colony underwent two trials (only applicable for experimentally built walls) SubCategory: The type of substrate (Sub I, Sub II, Built, Natural) TotalVolume: The combined pore (void space in compact substrate grains) and soil volume (ml) of a substrate PoreVolume: The void space in between compact substrate grains (ml)
