Data from: Tropical biome switching: Ant communities transition from savanna to rainforest following cessation of burning

This dataset consists of data on subterranean, leaf litter, epigaeic and arboreal ant assemblages. It was collected using pitfall, subterranean and arboreal traps, and leaf litter extractions. These were placed in 9 sites in the Iron Range of the northern Cape York peninsula of Australia. The vegetation of these sites consisted of savanna, secondary forest, dry primary forest and wet primary forest.
