Figure 10. Comparing the effects of single mating (n = 1), double mating (n = 2), and triple mating (n = 3) on the evolution of worker sterility.

Figure 10.

Whether or not triple mating favors the evolution of worker sterility depends on the functions pz and rz. We consider a recessive mutant allele, a, for worker sterility. (A, B) For these parameter choices, the mutant allele causing worker sterility can invade for triple mating but not for double or single mating.
