Figure 2

Effects of relatedness between founding females on the colony growth and caste ratio. (a) The colony size (means ± S.D. values) at 15 months after colony establishment. The sizes were significantly different between colony types (generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) analysis, p = 0.044, Table 1). (b) Caste ratio between colony types in each colony at 15 months after colony establishment. The nymph/worker ratio did not significantly differ between colony types (GLMM analysis, p = 0.430, Table 1). Numerical values in the bar indicate numbers of colonies examined. SP and URP indicate sister-pair and unrelated-pair colonies, respectively.
