Climate changes and ant evolution

A recent study has shown that the evolution of ants, estimated at around 20 million billion species and collectively weighing more than all terrestrial birds and mammals, is more closely linked to climate changes over the ages than previously thought. It confirmed that environmental factors, especially variations in sea levels and temperatures, played a key role in the diversity and evolution of ant species over 140 million years. This understanding helps shed light on the impact of current climate change on biodiversity.
