Degree of determination of ef ects of components of the regulatory
architecture of pollen hoarding depicted as stored pollen in the bottom box.
Genotype ef ects are shown down the let margin for each of the traits on the let .
Arrows show the directionality of the ef ects. Solid-line relationships were measured
in high- and low-strain bees; dark dashed lines were measured in high- and
low-strain bees and wild-type bees; light dashed lines were measured in wild-type
bees only. Reprinted from
