Data from: Thermal tolerance regulates foraging behavior of ants

Data files for manuscript titled "Thermal tolerance regulates foraging behavior of ants". Over two years, we tracked 322 foraging trips from 15 red harvester ant colonies in a mixed grass prairie of southwestern Oklahoma. During each trip, we measured surface temperature, distance, time, worker mass, seed mass, and foraging tempo (i.e. running speed). To assess P. barbatus heat tolerance, we measured CTmax and knock-down resistance of field-collected workers in the lab.

Long-Term Agricultural Research (LTAR) network - Meteorological Collection

The LTAR network maintains stations for standard meteorological measurements including, generally, air temperature and humidity, shortwave (solar) irradiance, longwave (thermal) radiation, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, and precipitation. Many sites also have extensive comparable legacy datasets.

LTAR - Meteorological Stations - R.J. Cook Agronomy Farm - Cook East

USDA-ARS Northwest Sustainable Agroecosystems Research (NSAR) and Washington State University (WSU) established a long-term meteorological and eddy covariance tower in 2017.
