Description

This dataset consists of ants collected in SW Ethiopia in the Goma and Gera districts in coffee agroforestry sites. Four species have been identified and Crematogaster chiarinii is mostly collected from a tree with a carton nest. The other species probably don’t use carton nests but have been sampled in the same sites on stems and on coffee.
