https://smithsonian.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Dataset_-_Acacia_plants_rewards_according_to_association_type/9343469
This dataset contains information about the rewards that acacia trees (<i>Vachellia collinsii,</i> formerly <i>Acacia collinsii</i>) produce for the ants, depending on the type of association with the ants (parasitic, mutualistic or trees without ants). The measured rewards included in the dataset are: spine length, spine diameter, spine volume, number of nectaries per leaf, and ant species inhabiting the acacia tree (<i>Crematogaster crinosa, Pseudomymex nigropilosus, P. gracilis, P. spinicola</i>). Units are provided in the column name on the dataset.
