Cumulative plot of proportion of recombination events versus proportion of the genome for the two termite species M. bellicosus and C. secundus compared with the honey bee A. mellifera (Wallberg et al. 2015). Dashed lines show the proportion of the genome in which 50% of the recombination occurs, which for M. bellicosus is 0.4%, C. secundus is 0.2%, and A. mellifera is 32%.
