Davidson et al.(1989)
General information
This study
took place in 1985 and 1986, during September, October, and November.
The authors surveyed variation in the ant associates of eight myrmecophytes
of the tropical moist forests of western Amazonia.
Data type
The authors
recorded their data by counting the number of visits of each ant
species to each plant species. Data are presented as an interaction
frequency matrix, in which cells with positive integers indicate
the frequency of interaction between a pair of species, and cells
with zeros indicate no interaction.
