The article looks into a study for dimorphic behavior of microgynes in Palearctic ant population, Manica rubida (M. rubida), they work as both queens and workers. It looks into the colony of M. rubida which occurs in both monogynous colonies and polygynous colonies. It further mentions mitochondrial DNA sequencing of microgynes and workers from four nests to determine the genetic similarity and differences among microgynes and the workers.
