DBH1995= tree DBH in 1995, DBH2013= tree DBH in 2013, Neighbors= number of D. hirsuta trees within 5 m of a focal tree.Habitat= type of habitat where each tree was located, three categories: ridge, slope, valley. Ant.type= ant indicates that the mutualist ant (Myrmelachista schumanni) was recorded in the D. hirsuta tree in 2010, the tree had signs of hosting the tree (ant understory clearings) in 2010, and the ant was recorded in the tree in 2013; no ant= the ant was recorded either in 2010, 2013, or in none of these years
