Table 1.

Coefficients of relatedness for a haplodiploid female for various female and male relatives

Full sibling Half sibling Own offspring Offspring of full sister Offspring of half sister Mother related by rqq, father unrelated
Females average 3/4 1/4 1/2 3/8 1/8 rqq/4
patrigenic 1 0 1/2 1/2 0 0
matrigenic 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/4 1/4 rqq/2
Males average - 1/2 1 3/4 1/4 rqq/2
patrigenic - 0 1 1 0 0
matrigenic - 1 1 1/2 1/2 rqq

These are regression coefficients that do not include reproductive value differences between males and females. The last column is for relationships like cousins, with mothers related by rqq = 3/4 and fathers unrelated.
