Data from: Epigaeic and hypogaeic ant abundance data from 20 sites spanning a 1000 km gradient in Northern Australia

This data consists of ant species abundance from pitfall and subterranean traps. We used 400 pitfall traps and 800 subterranean traps across 20 sites, spaced 50 km apart, in Northern Australia. We extracted, identified, and counted ants in each trap.
