Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title Data from: Solenopsis invicta virus 3 infection alters worker foraging behavior in its host, Solenopsis invicta
Summary:  View help for Summary 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.
