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.
