Data from: Ant diversity in Neotropical savannas: hierarchical processes acting at multiple spatial scales

Ant diversity in a Neotropical savanna_DRYADZ-scores of predictor and response variables in 29 sites analyzed in this study. Codes and geographic locations of sites are also provided. SD: species density; RSR: rarefied species richness; RAIN: mean annual rainfall; NPP: net primary productivity; DLC: diversity of land cover classes; HET: heterogeneity in greenness; REF: refugial areas; HDR: historical difference in rainfall; FRAG: proportion of coarse rock fragments in the soil; SAND: proportion of sand in the soil.
