Epiphyll deterrence to the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes

Oecologia, 1991
Epiphyll growth on leaves of the grapefruit Citrus paradisi and the understory cyclanth Cyclanthus bipartitus repelled the fungus-growing, leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes from harvesting leaves of these tropical plants. Experimental removal of epiphylls from leaves resulted in 2-3 times more herbivore damage by leafcutter ants as compared to matched ...

Traffic Dynamics of the Leaf‐Cutting Ant,Atta cephalotes

The American Naturalist, 2002
Colonies of Atta cephalotes (Myrmicinae: Formicidae) construct cleared paths between their nest and the vegetation sources at which they harvest leaf tissue. Here, we employ ideas from traffic engineering to study streams of laden and unladen ants on these paths.

Nest area exploration and recognition in leafcutter ants (Atta cephalotes)

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1986
Abstract Workers of Atta cephalotes deposit “nest exit pheromones” in the vicinity of their nest entrances. Lasting for a period of at least 24 h, these substances orient the workers to the nest openings and increase the rate of trail laying, leaf cutting, and leaf retrieval.

Chemistry of metapleural gland secretions of three attine ants,Atta sexdens rubropilosa, Atta cephalotes, andAcromyrmex octospinosus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1996
The chemical composition of the secretions of the metapleural glands of workers and soldiers of twoAtta species,Atta sexdens rubropilosa andA. cephalotes, and workers ofAcromyrmex octospinosus, has been studied. As indicated by infrared spectrometry and confirmed by the ninhydrin test, the secretions contain chiefly proteins.

Vibrational communication between hitchhikers and foragers in leaf-cutting ants ( Atta cephalotes )

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1995
Abstract In a foraging column of the leaf-cutting ant Atta cephalotes, minim workers (the smallest worker subcaste) “hitchhike” on leaf fragments carried by larger workers. It has been demonstrated that they defend leaf carriers against parasitic phorid flies. The present study examines the cues used by the potential hitchhikers to locate leaf carriers.

Leaf-Cutting Ants (Atta cephalotes) Select Nitrogen-Rich Forage

American Midland Naturalist, 1986
Two colonies of the leaf-cutting ant (Atta cephalotes L.) at Turrialba, Costa Rica, foraged on a restricted subset of the total available plant species, generally preferring introduced cultivars over native plants, but sampling many early successional species. Feeding preferences were related to elemental composition of leaves.

Leaf cutter ants (Atta cephalotes) harvest baits offering sodium chloride rewards

Insectes Sociaux, 2010
Recent studies of attraction to sodium chloride baits suggest that diverse ant species forage for salt. We used experimental presentations of salt baits to test whether leaf cutter ants (Atta cephalotes) are attracted to and harvest salt-treated paper baits that offer no other resources.
