Colony fertility over time for R ( N = 36 on day 1 declining to N = 1 on day 134) and C ( N = 35 on day 1 declining to N = 1 on day 148) colonies until day 147. Red dashed line: day 5, manipulations started; black dashed line: day 26, when worker egg-laying first observed in any colony. Daily sample sizes are in Additional file 2 : Table S23. Outliers not shown. For a and b , black horizontal bars: medians; boxes: interquartile ranges; whiskers: 1.5 x interquartile range. R colonies had significantly higher colony fertility than C colonies after treatment had started (see ‘ Results ’).
