Diagram illustrating one generation of the life cycle of typical eusocial insect receiving gene flow from an outside source. The zygotes destined to become males have allele frequency pm and those destined to become queens and workers are allele frequency pf. The mean male and female allele frequencies after gene flow are denoted m and f. After mating, the next generation of queen and worker zygotes are formed with the allele frequency pf and males with allele frequency pm.
