Fig. 2From: The remoulding of dietary effects on the fecundity / longevity trade-off in a social insectQueen fecundity. The number of eggs produced within a colony during the whole experimental period shown with (a) violin plots indicating the data distribution and boxplots indicating median (black bar), interquartile range (box) and total data range (whiskers and dots). The violin plots in (b) show the egg laying rate of original queens standardised by the time a queen was present. Control: yellow, protein + : blue. Treatment had neither a significant effect on (a) the total number of eggs produced nor on (b) the individual egg laying rate of original queensBack to article page
