Data Extent

Data from: Solenopsis invicta virus 3 infection alters worker foraging behavior in its host, Solenopsis invicta

Data collected to compare the foraging/food consumption and impacts of Solenopsis invicta virus 3 on fire ant colonies, Solenopsis invicta. Ant colonies infected with Solenopsis invicta virus 3 were compared with uninfected (control) colonies. Four data sets include foraging/food consumption, brood changes, queen fecundity, and virus quantity.

Resources in this dataset:

  • Resource Title: Brood ratings of virus infected ant colonies
    File Name: Raw data brood rating.csv
    Resource Description: Change in brood quantity (rating) after treatment with Solenopsis invicta virus 3. Data include the number of days after exposure to virus, the brood ratings for four treatment (virus exposure) replicates and three control replicates, and the means for each group.

  • Resource Title: Ant food consumption data
    File Name: Raw data consumption 1.csv
    Resource Description: Food consumption in ant colonies treated with Solenopsis invicta virus 3. Data include the number of days after treatment with SINV-3, the raw data for four treatment replicates and control replicates, means for treatment and control groups, the quantity (grams) of food consumed for each group, and the standard error for each group.

  • Resource Title: Solenopsis invicta virus 3 genome quantification
    File Name: Raw data SINV3 quantity.csv
    Resource Description: Quantitative PCR data to detect Solenopsis invicta virus 3. Data include the day after treatment the measurements were taken, the raw data for four treatment replicates and 3 control replicates, means and standard deviation of each treatment group.

  • Resource Title: Queen fecundity after treatment with Solenopsis invicta virus 3
    File Name: Raw data eggs laid.csv
    Resource Description: Eggs laid (fecundity) in a 24 hour period by Solenopsis invicta queens after SINV-3 exposure. Data sheet includes colony group (four replicate treatment colonies and three replicate control colonies) and the number of eggs laid by queens from these colonies on 24, 31, and 39 days after virus exposure.
