Patrilines (Patril.) estimated in each colony, number of new alelles found in daughter colonies not found in any mother colony, and effective mating frequency (me), which was calculated as in Starr (1984): me=1/Σyi2me = 1/\Sigma y.i^2 , where yi is the proportion of offsprings contributing to patriline i in a colony. Letters M or D in the column “Colony”, as in M1 and D1, refer to “Mother” and “Daughter” colony, respectively. Equal numbers in the column “Colony” indicate the mother-daughter dyad.
