  1. Colonies are organized by planting age: 1.1 to 1.3 (1–2 years), 2.1–2.3 (6–7 years), 3.1–3.3 (7–8 years), 4.1–4.3 (19–23 years), and 5.1- 5.3 (gallery forests). La-Mpr (Left Mandible): distance between the first apical tooth and the first marginal tooth (La), the distance between the first and second marginal tooth (L1), the distance between the second and third marginal tooth (L2), and the distance between the third marginal tooth and the molar prominence (MPr). Ra-MP (Right Mandible): distance between the first apical tooth and the first marginal tooth (Ra), KW distance between the first and second marginal teeth (R1), distance between the marginal second tooth and molar plate (R2), and molar plate extension (MP). W1-W3: Indexes of workers *KW traits that differ statistically significantly from colonies of the same plantation age/gallery forest with a p value of 0.05. Df:2 N:7 individuals measured per colony. Extreme values of percent CV are in bold font
