Odour learning and decision-making during food collection in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lundi

Recruited workers of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lundi learn the odour of the food fragment initially carried by a successful scout, and use this cue as a decision criterion during food collection. Citral, a natural deterrent odour, can also be associated as a food signal, showing how powerful o...
