Using satellite data, high-resolution images taken in the period from 2005 to the present day and in the period from 1982 to 1988, experts from the French research center of Chizé Centre for Biological Studies (CNRS) evaluated the changes in colony size (from the time of the visit by a team of scientists in 1982).

The presence of such discontinuities in the mantle explains why powerful earthquakes now occur not at all, and only in some regions of Tibet,” says Xiaodong song (Xiaodong Song) from the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA).
