    Data for Jornada LTERII termite bait weight loss.  Toilet 
    paper roll termite baits are placed on grids on each consumer 
    plot.  Data include initial bait weights and bait weights after 
    baits have been retrieved from the field once each year.  Weight 
    loss is calculated as a measure of termite foraging activity.
