Selective fern herbivory by leaf-cutter ants of Atta cephalotes (L.) in Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Botany, 2018
Although leaf-cutter ants of the genus Atta are polyphagous, they discriminate between food plant species. Ferns represent the second largest group of vascular plants and are especially abundant in tropical forest understories, but seem to be avoided as food plants.

Sodium‐specific foraging by leafcutter ant workers ( Atta cephalotes , Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ecological Entomology, 2012
1. Sodium is often a limiting nutrient for terrestrial animals, and may be especially sought by herbivores. Leafcutter ants are dominant herbivores in the Neotropics, and leafcutter foraging may be affected by nutritional demands of the colony and/or the demands of their symbiotic fungal mutualists.

Coffee Farm Diversity and Landscape Features Influence Density of Colonies of Atta cephalotes (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2011
The density of colonies of leaf-cutting ants, Atta cephalotes L. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), was measured and compared among coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plantations in five management categories: monoculture conventional, diversified conventional, diversified organic, highly diversified conventional, and highly diversified organic.

Ontogenetic changes in forager polymorphism and foraging ecology in the leaf-cutting ant Atta cephalotes

Oecologia, 1994
In the leaf-cutting ant Atta cephalotes (L.) small colonies produce a relatively narrow size-range of small workers, whereas large colonies produce a much wider size-range of workers. In this study, I compared the foraging of four small A. cephalotes colonies (fewer than 5000 workers) with published data on foraging of large colonies to examine how ...
