The rate of colony growth is represented by the number of days from the hibernation end date to the emergence of the 1^st, 5^th and 15^th offspring and the number of days to the emergence of the 15^th offspring from the 1^st offspring, respectively, with respect to inbreeding treatment, maternal colony and the co-variate hibernation end date. Degrees of freedom are given in parentheses.
