Figure 3

A life-cycle diagram for a structured population with discrete, nonoverlapping generations. Groups are founded by N adults who reproduce to form the next generation. Social interactions and competition among offspring can occur either before or after offspring disperse away from their natal group. The relatedness (shown in boxes) of offspring in a social group depends on the stage in the life cycle when it is measured.
