PositiveScience

Recent research shows that ants exhibit social distancing behaviors when exposed to pathogens, altering their building patterns to protect their colonies. This fascinating discovery highlights the adaptability of these insects and their instinctual responses to threats, much like humans during a pandemic. Understanding these behaviors not only sheds light on ant social structures but also offers insights into how other species, including humans, might respond to similar challenges.
