  1. rnestmates (cluster) is the relatedness among nestmates with respect to allele frequencies in the cluster (± standard error). rnestmates (population) or rclustermates (population) is the relatedness among nestmates or clustermates with respect to allele frequencies in the population. n is the number of nests. Estimates significantly greater than zero are in bold.
