Studying the genetic signatures of climate-driven selection can produce insights into local
adaptation and the potential impacts of climate change on populations. The honey bee (Apis …

The mechanisms by which organisms adapt to variable environments are a fundamental
question in evolutionary biology and are important to protect important species in response …

The eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) is of central importance for agriculture in Asia. It has
adapted to a wide variety of environmental conditions across its native range in southern …

The western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an enormously influential pollinator in both natural
and managed ecosystems. In North America, this species has been introduced numerous …

The western honey bee, Apis mellifera, provides critical pollination services to agricultural
crops worldwide. However, despite substantial interest and prior investigation, the early …

Despite the urgent need for conservation consideration, strategic action plans for the
preservation of the Asian honeybee, Apis cerana Fabricius, 1793, remain lacking. Both the …

Abstract The Asian honeybee Apis cerana is one of two bee species that have been
commercially kept with immense economic value. Here we present the analysis of genomic …
