The table "Resource Competition Experiment.csv" corresponds to the manuscript sections of the same name. It contains the number of food items taken by workers of each species during resource competition experiments between the invasive Argentine ant and three different competing species (the native Monomorium antarcticum, the introduced Ochetellus glaber and the introduced Technomyrmex jocosus) while treated with synthetic phermone. The experimental design is explained in the publication in the methods section with the same name as the datafile, further description of the datafile can be found in the ReadMe.txt.
