Novel Worker-Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite <i>Tetramorium microgyna</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.
