Main Experiment: Sugar and amino acid choice experiment (Site A, 2012)
Abstract:
Vegetation foraging ants feed to a considerable part on liquid plant exudates or on Hemipteran honeydew. Those liquids contain mainly sugars and amino acids (AA), which are attractive for the ants. We conducted a choice experiment using different ...

CSPs: Herb layer plant biomass in the CSPs, separated into functional groups (2008)
Abstract:
Biomass is a proxy for assessing herb layer productivity. In contrast to most traits it is easy practicable and therefore feasible repeatedly. Since the proportion of functional groups is informative for community structure biomass was harvested s...

Main Experiment: Visitors of extrafloral nectaries (2012)
Abstract:
Trees with extrafloral nectaries (EFN) are common in tropical and subtropical forests and the presence of EFN trees within a tree community may influence tree growth. In this dataset EFN-tree-visiting arthropods were collected on all EFN tree spec...

Common Garden Experiment: Seedling addition experiment - growth and biomass data
Abstract:
While coexistence in plant communities is frequently explained by effects of resource niche partitioning, the Janzen-Connell (J-C) hypothesis is an alternative approach that has been assumed as a major ecological mechanism explaining high species ...

Main Experiment: Amino acids in extrafloral nectar of tree species in the main experiment, 2012
Abstract:
Extrafloral nectar (EFN) is rich in sugars and amino acids and mediates the protection-for-food mutualism between EFN-plants and ants. We analyzed (via HPLC) 8 samples for the 3 EFN-tree species (Ailanthus altissima, Melia azedarach, Triadica coch...
