F-statistics and relatedness coefficients for workers from R. chinensis colonies from four populations in China and expected for possible breeding systems of subterranean termite colonies previously derived from computer simulations [20], [21].

n, number of colonies; SE, standard error derived from jackknifing over colonies (or loci if sample size ≤3). One sample t-tests were performed using FIT, FIC, and r values across individual colonies. Significant differences between empirical values and expected values are indicated by different letters (uppercase for extended families, lowercase for simple families, Greek alphabet lower case for mixed families). For simulated breeding systems, X represents generation number of neotenics within a colony; Nf and Nm represent number of replacement females and males per generation respectively; p presents mixing proportion between workers from different colonies.
