The colony ID is the abbreviations used in further analyses and figures. The total number of polymorphic loci was four; P is the number of polymorphic loci for a given colony. k' is the average allelic richness adjusted to sample size of six. Hexp is the expected average heterozygosity for each colony. * indicate statistically significant M values (P < 0.05; see Methods for details). The colony samples consisted of either workers in alcohol, live workers only, or colonies of varying sizes containing queen(-s) and brood in addition to workers. 'Field' samples were collected in the field October 2004 and 'Laboratory' samples had been kept in other laboratories as well as in Copenhagen. The number of intraspecific tests is the total number of intraspecific, inter-colonial tests conducted involving each of the populations in 2004. The number of inter-colonial tests where interactions occurred are given first in the parentheses, the number of within-colony control tests are given second in the parentheses. In 2005 colonies U1, U2, U3, U4 and Gh4 were used for behavioural tests and chemical analyses, 6 tests were made for each possible intraspecific combination of colonies as well as for the within-colony controls.1indicate sample used for correlation analyses including behavioural experiments and chemical analyses.
