    "abstract": "We report the phenomenon of symmetry breaking in ants escaping under panic.\nAnts confined into a cell with two symmetrically located exits use both exits\nin approximately equal proportions to abandon the cell in normal conditions,\nbut prefer one of the exits if panic is created by adding a repellent fluid.\nThis finding is consistent with the predictions of recent theoretical models\nfor the escape of humans in panic conditions, indicating that some features of\nthe collective behaviour of humans and ants can be similar when escaping under\npanic.",
