Behavioral changes in workers of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa induced by chemical components of Eucalyptus maculata leaves

The response of Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel workers to essential oils, epicuticular wax and hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts of Eucalyptus maculata was evaluated.
