Data supporting: The global spread and invasion capacities of alien ants

Deposited here are four datasets relating to the paper “The global spread and invasion capacities of alien ants” A description of each dataset follows. <strong>Dataset_1_alien_ant_species_records.csv</strong> This dataset contains the occurrence records (N=17,942) for 520 alien ant species across 525 geographic regions worldwide. It includes records of species in their native regions (“native”) as well as records of species in non-native regions, in three different categories: species recorded from border interceptions (“border.interception”), species recorded from indoor settings such as buildings and greenhouses (“established.indoors”), and species recorded in the wild (“established.outdoors”). The data was extracted on 15 June 2022 from the Global Ant Biodiversity Informatics (GABI) database (Guénard et al., 2017), which is regularly updated. Information on the literature and database sources corresponding to each record is available from GABI. Corresponding range maps for all species across all regions can be viewed at https://antmaps.org. <strong>Dataset_2_regions_and_realms.csv</strong> This dataset contains the geographic coordinates of the 525 geographic regions in the GABI database. It also provides a classification of the regions into 11 global zoogeographic realms as defined in Holt et al. (2013). <strong>Dataset_3_alien_ant_species_strata.csv</strong> This dataset contains information on the vertical habitat strata occupied by each alien ant species. Three different vertical habitat strata are listed, namely the arboreal (“arboreal”), ground-surface (“ground.surface”), and the litter-and-soil (“litter.soil”) strata (after Lucky et al., 2013). <strong>Dataset_4_ant_genera_richness_strata.csv</strong> This dataset contains information on the species richness of and vertical habitat strata occupied by each ant genus (updated from Lucky et al., 2013). <br> For additional information, please contact: [e-mail] <br> <strong>Literature cited</strong> Guenard, B., Weiser, M.

本数据集仓库上传了与论文《外来蚂蚁的全球扩散与入侵能力》相关的四组数据集。下文将对各组数据集分别进行说明。<br><strong>Dataset_1_alien_ant_species_records.csv</strong> 该数据集包含全球525个地理区域内520种外来蚂蚁的发生记录（共计17942条）。其中既包含物种在原生分布区的记录（标注为"native"），也包含物种在非原生分布区的三类记录：边境截获记录（标注为"border.interception"）、在建筑物及温室等室内环境中定殖的记录（标注为"established.indoors"），以及在野外定殖的记录（标注为"established.outdoors"）。本数据集于2022年6月15日从全球蚂蚁生物多样性信息学（Global Ant Biodiversity Informatics, GABI）数据库（Guénard et al., 2017）中提取，该数据库会定期更新。每条记录对应的文献及数据库来源信息可通过GABI获取。所有物种在各区域的对应分布范围图可在https://antmaps.org查看。<br><strong>Dataset_2_regions_and_realms.csv</strong> 该数据集包含GABI数据库中525个地理区域的地理坐标。同时还依据Holt等人（2013）的分类标准，将这些区域划分为11个全球动物地理界（zoogeographic realms）。<br><strong>Dataset_3_alien_ant_species_strata.csv</strong> 该数据集包含各外来蚂蚁物种所占据的垂直生境层（vertical habitat strata）信息。参考Lucky等人（2013）的分类标准，共列出三类垂直生境层：树栖层（"arboreal"）、地表层（"ground.surface"）以及枯落物与土壤层（"litter.soil"）。<br><strong>Dataset_4_ant_genera_richness_strata.csv</strong> 该数据集包含各蚂蚁属的物种丰富度及其占据的垂直生境层信息（基于Lucky等人，2013的研究更新）。<br><br>如需获取更多信息，请联系：[e-mail]<br><br><strong>引用文献</strong><br>1.
