We present published and unpublished data from 51 ,388 ant abundance and occurrence records from local assemblages collected at 4,212 locations around the world. Ants were selected because they comprise a large fraction of animal biomass in most terrestrial communities, and are key contributors to a range of ecosystem functions. Data were collected between 1949 and 2014, and include, for each geo-referenced sampling site, both the identity of the ants collected and details of sampling design, habitat type, and degree of disturbance. The aim of compiling this data set was to provide comprehensive species abundance data in order to test relationships between assemblage structure and environmental and biogeographic factors. We encourage authors holding additional data on systematically collected ant assemblages to contact us and contribute their data to this growing data set.
