Variable names and descriptions

Sheet 1

ID nest: identity of the nest of the genotyped worker

2MS46 to GT-1: complete genotype of the worker. Missing data: “-9”

Q1_inter & Q2_inter: Q-values resulting from the Bayesian clustering (interspecific level)

ID_inter: species identity based on genotype (TC: Temnothorax crassispinus, TN: T. nylanderi; H: intermediate)

Q1_intra & Q2_intra: Q-values resulting from the Bayesian clustering (intraspecific level)

ID_intra: population identity based on genotype (TC1: Temnothorax crassispinus, cluster1; TC2: T. crassispinus, cluster2)

ID_sequencing_C1-J-2183/C2-N-3661: species identity based on sequencing for primers C1-J-2183/C2-N-3661 (TC: Temnothorax crassispinus, TN: T. nylanderi)

ID_sequencing_LCO1490 ⁄ HCO2198: species identity based on sequencing for primers LCO1490 ⁄ HCO2198 (TC: Temnothorax crassispinus, TN: T. nylanderi)

Sheet 2

Idpatch: identity of the forest patch

Latitude, longitude: geographic coordinates of the forest patch

Date, Hour: Sampling time of the forest patch

TC_Nest-density: number of T. crassispinus nests sampled per people in 30 minutes in the forest patch

Prop_Queenright_nests: proportion of queenright nests in the forest patch

Gen_div: averaged number of alleles per T. crassispinus nest in the forest patch

Connect1 & Connect5: distance to the closest patch and mean distance to the five closest patches

Nbneig200 & Nbneig400: number of neighboring forest patches at 200 and 400 meters from the focal forest patch

area: size of the forest patch

shape: shape of the forest patch (perimeter/surface)
