Test of association using G test

| X,X | 15 | 0 |
Due to nonindependence of individuals sampled from the same colony, we used one ant per colony for this test. We used data from the 36 queens used to calculate genotype frequencies for Fig. 1. For workers, we included one individual from each colony. The single colony with workers of genotype 6,X (see text) was excluded, leaving a total of 39 colonies (G = 104, d.f. = 2, P < 10−22).
