Nest growth was a reliable predictor of nest productivity: we found a highly significant, positive correlation between brood value at worker maturation and nest growth (Fig. 3 ; LM, t = 5.85, p < 0.0001).

marginally non-significantp = 0.098so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

There was a marginally non-significant trend for the quadratic term of group size (group size^2) to have a negative effect on nest growth ( p = 0.098) and it was therefore retained in the model.
