Colony and regional variation in fire ant foraging behavior before and after exposure to different foraging habitats

Raw data for analysis of regional and colony-level variation in fire ant foraging behavior. Data includes fire ant foraging behavior before and after five weeks exposure to ground-level vs. elevated foraging habitat types. Recruitment to ground-level and elevated resources, disovery and trail formation times, extra-nest activity, and exploratory activity are included, as well as weight of food collected and final colony size.
