From: Social control of egg-laying in independently nest-founding bumble bee queens
Resorption status of queen ovaries at different stages of colony development, or with brood artificially added to the nest (pause manipulation treatment) in Experiment 3 (n = 62). Shaped points represent the proportions of resorbed oocytes for individual queens, jittered to better visualize overlapping points. Each column represents a treatment with the X symbol amongst the jittered points representing averages for a given treatment group. An emmeans post-hoc pairwise test was used to determine differences between treatments. Brackets indicate statistically different means, with a black star (*) above them indicating a level of significance (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001)
