The ants are not adjusting their behaviour in response to warming temperatures and persist in suboptimal microhabitats even when there are optimal ones, according to the latest study.

In the remainder of the century and if urgent measures are not taken to stop global warming, a minimum of 60% of the glaciers of the entire globe could disappear before 2100.

The Pensilungpa Glacier (PG), located in Zanskar, Ladakh, is receding, and a recent study has attributed the retreat to increased temperatures and decreased rainfall during winters.
