Abstract
A. cephalotes foragers transfer leaf fragments to carrier ants at junctions of new branch trails and the established trail. A more pronounced specialization into harvesters and carriers is exhibited by A. sexdens rubropilosa in which smaller ants harvesting in the tops of tall trees drop material to the ground where larger workers collect it.
