Fig. 6: Weak relationships between caste correlations and caste dimorphism reveal a lack of evolutionary conflict.
From: Genetic and environmental effects on morphological traits of social phenotypes in wasps
The relationship between caste dimorphism and (A) mean ‘within colony caste correlation’ (WCCC) values and (B) ‘across colony caste correlation’ (ACCC) for all traits in V. maculifrons. Traits are abbreviated as M mass, BL body length, FW forewing length, SC1 submarginal cell 1 length, RJA reslin joint area length, HW head width, IDx maximum interorbital distance, IDm minimum interorbital distance, AN antenna length, PW pronotum width, GL second segment gaster length, FL femur length, TL tibia length, and TR tarsus length.
