D.R.N. was supported by European Union (EU) Marie Curie and Carlsberg Foundation fellowships. Collaboration between Denmark and Keele was via the EU research training networks Social Evolution, which supported R.M., and Integrated Studies of the Economy of Insect Societies (INSECTS). Population genetic analysis of M. alcon was supported by the EU Research Training and Development network MacMan. The final stages of this study were supported by the Danish National Research Foundation (J.J.B. and D.R.N.).
