AntBiome Project

The AntBiome Project is a scientific initiative focused on studying the diverse communities of microorganisms that inhabit ant bodies and their environments. Ants are abundant and play essential roles in ecosystems, making them excellent subjects for research. By analyzing the unique microbiomes associated with different ant species, researchers aim to understand how these microbes affect ant health, behavior, and their ecological roles. The project contributes to broader ecology and microbiology knowledge, helping us learn about biodiversity, the interactions between species, and the potential impacts of environmental changes on ecosystems.
