Datasets -Pruning by Acacia Ants

Data for the paper entitled: "Plant killing by Neotropical acacia ants: ecology, decision-making and head morphology". It includes four excel files: 1. Info of the plant parts where three different Neotropical acacia ants pruned herbaceous and woody saplings; 2. The measurements of thickness of different plant parts of the grass nodes; 3. The thickness of different plant parts of the woody saplings; 4. the measurements of head length, head width, head broadness(lenght to width) for seven species of <i>Pseudomyrmex</i> ants with different types of associations with plants, and different demands on mandible force.

本数据集为题为《新热带区金合欢蚁的灭植行为：生态学、决策机制与头部形态》的学术论文配套数据，共包含4个Excel格式文件：1. 三种不同新热带区金合欢蚁对草本与木本幼树进行修枝操作时所涉及的植物部位相关信息；2. 禾本科植物茎节不同部位的厚度测量数据；3. 木本幼树不同植物部位的厚度数据；4. 7种与植物存在不同关联类型、且对上颚力量有不同需求的伪切叶蚁属（*Pseudomyrmex*）蚂蚁的头部长度、头部宽度及头宽幅（长与宽之比）测量数据。
