Ant assemblage species richness and PIE

This data file includes details of species richness and PIE from pitfall-trapped ant assemblages across the globe. The data includes the following information for 1128 assemblages: Locality_ID - A unique code for each locality; Source - Details of reference source for each dataset; Cluster - Geographic cluster used as a random factor in analyses; Latitude - Latitude provided by authors; Longitude - Longitude provided by authors; Mean annual temperature - Derived from WorldClim; Total annual precipitation - Derived from WorldClim; Temperature range - Derived from WorldClim; Disturbance - Disturbance described by authors; Hemisphere - Derived from Latitude; Continent - Continent provided by authors; Pitfall days - Number of pitfalls multiplied by trapping days; Transect length - Distance from first to last trap in transect; Species richness - Total number of species collected; PIE - Probability of Interspecific Encounter, a measure of species evenness. Further details are provided in the paper.
