HONG KONG: The results of an experiment on the ISS to monitor how ants cope with zero-gravity have been published.
Researchers found they managed surprisingly well, using other ants or the surfaces and walls as anchors to climb.However, their ability to search collectively did not go perfectly as they tumbled and fell while trying to explore.
The study, Collective Search by Ants in Microgravity, was published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
The ants were taken to the station in January 2014 and subsequently studied by astronauts on board.
