Dataset for "Cadmium toxicokinetics differ between forest and city colonies of the ant Temnothorax nylanderi (Foerster, 1850)"

This file contains the data used for the article "Cadmium toxicokinetics differ between forest and city colonies of the ant Temnothorax nylanderi (Foerster, 1850)", published in Ecotoxicology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10646-026-03053-4. In this study, we compared the temporal kinetics of cadmium accumulation and elimination in colonies of the ant Temnothorax nylanderi from two habitats: unpolluted (forest) and polluted (city). We collected ant colonies at one city park and one forest site outside the city, in two regions: Paris and Lyon. Under controlled laboratory conditions, ant colonies were given cadmium-contaminated food during a contamination phase, followed by normal uncontaminated food during a decontamination phase.本数据集包含发表于《生态毒理学（Ecotoxicology）》、题为《森林与城市群落的尼兰德扁胸切叶蚁（Temnothorax nylanderi, Foerster, 1850）镉毒物代谢动力学存在差异》（DOI: 10.1007/s10646-026-03053-4）的学术论文所使用的配套数据。 本研究针对两类生境中的尼兰德扁胸切叶蚁（Temnothorax nylanderi）群落，比较其镉积累与排出的时序动力学特征：一类为未受污染的森林生境，另一类为受污染的城市生境。研究于巴黎和里昂两个区域采集蚁群样本，采样点分别为一处城市公园与城外一处森林样地。在受控实验室条件下，研究人员先在染毒阶段向蚁群投喂镉污染食物，随后在净化阶段更换为无污染物的正常食物。
