- Creators

- Description
The data comprises counts of three species of skinks and nine orders of arthropods for four site types and four time periods between April and August 2017 as well as site GPS coordinates and habitat data (rocks, logs, leaf litter, light penetration). The four site types were: control = never baited or had yellow crazy ants; buffer = baited but did not have yellow crazy ants; low = historically low yellow crazy ant activity; high = historically high yellow crazy ant activity.
Software/equipment used to create/collect the data: none.
Software/equipment used to manipulate/analyse the data: Microsoft Excel in Windows 10 R version 3.6.1 for analysis.
The dataset is expressed in four spreadsheets in a single workbook, saved in Excel (.xlsx) and Open Document formats (.ods).
