Data from: Preference for mammalian urine is higher in the canopy than on the ground in a tropical rainforest ant community in Yunnan, China

See the associated manuscript for detailed methods of data collection. In brief, ants were collected in the canopy and the ground from (or below) 12 trees in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, using liquid baited pitfall traps with three different food sources (sugar water, urine water, and water).
