Additional file 10: of Unexpected patterns of segregation distortion at a selfish supergene in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta

Figure S5. Distributions of segregation proportions (k) in embryo progenies for 56 alleles of twelve non-supergene-linked microsatellite loci. Boxes represent interquartile ranges, whereas whiskers indicate the range limits. Within boxes, black horizontal bars represent the medians and red dots the means. Five alleles at four of the loci that segregated in only a single progeny are not included. The three alleles with boxes not overlapping 0.5 occurred in very few segregating progenies (numbers shown in blue). As expected for alleles that segregate in Mendelian ratios, estimates of the mean deviations from 1:1 ratios (│0.5 - k│) tend to decrease with larger numbers of segregating progenies studied (smaller plot).
