Standard methods for characterising subspecies and ecotypes of Apis mellifera
The natural diversity of honey bees in Europe is eroding fast. A multitude of reasons lead to
a loss of both genetic diversity and specific adaptations to local conditions. To preserve …

A worldwide survey of genome sequence variation provides insight into the evolutionary history of the honeybee Apis mellifera
The honeybee Apis mellifera has major ecological and economic importance. We analyze
patterns of genetic variation at 8.3 million SNPs, identified by sequencing 140 honeybee …

Both geometric morphometric and microsatellite data consistently support the differentiation of the Apis mellifera M evolutionary branch
Traditional morphometrics, allozymes, and mitochondrial data have supported a close
relationship between the M branch subspecies A. m. iberiensis and the North African …
