aP-values were calculated by likelihood ratio tests with 1 degree of freedom and P < 0.05 is highlighted in bold

bCLMM = Cumulative link mixed model (with logistic error distribution and logit link)

cLMM = Linear mixed-effects model (with normal error distribution)

dDifferences between castes are shown in reference to worker pupae
