Ants are distributed unevenly across Earth's biomes. Select a biome to observe spatial density shifts and weight proportions:
Global Biomass Ledger Dry Carbon Mass
| Group | Biomass (Mt) | vs. Ants Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| ● Ants (Global) | 12.0 Mt | 1.00x |
| ● Wild Mammals | 7.0 Mt | 0.58x |
| ● Wild Birds | 2.0 Mt | 0.17x |
| ● Humans | 60.0 Mt | 5.00x |
| ● Livestock | 100.0 Mt | 8.33x |
Biomass Telemetry Card
Current physics configuration compares total ant dry carbon weight against selected terrestrial biomass groups.
Source Note: Research published in PNAS (Schultheiss et al.) estimates global ant abundance at 20 quadrillion individuals, representing approximately 12 megatons of dry carbon biomass—exceeding all wild mammals and wild birds combined.
