MIAMI, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --A team of international researchers is shining a light on the often understudied "little things that run the world" ants.

Key Points: 
  • MIAMI, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --A team of international researchers is shining a light on the often understudied "little things that run the world" ants.
  • With the help of cutting-edge technology, the researchers created a first-of-its-kind global biodiversity map to begin answering a long unanswered question about where ants can be found across the globe.
  • Ants, thought to be nature's most industrious insects, often toil away, carrying out many jobs and juggling important responsibilities.
  • While there's still much to learn about them, what's clear is that the world wouldn't be the world without ants.
