Circle overlap sizes are equivalent to relative proportions of total GO terms uniquely associated with each phenotype considered; images are illustrative of foraging and guarding/waiting behavior by queens and workers. Enrichment for reproduction was detected in all groups except for foraging workers, which instead featured more enrichment for immune activity. The full list of GO terms can be found in Data S41.
