Genetic diversity assessment of Italian honey bee populations for conservation of Apis mellifera ligustica biodiversity

The European Zoological Journal
The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a key pollinator of significant ecological and economic importance. However, its genetic biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human practices such as queen trade and migratory beekeeping, which facilitate ...

Do social insects support Haig's kin theory for the evolution of genomic imprinting? [PDF]

Although numerous imprinted genes have been described in several lineages, the phenomenon of genomic imprinting presents a peculiar evolutionary problem.

Dominance of African racial ancestry in honey bee colonies of Mexico 30 years after the migration of hybrids from South America

Evolutionary Applications
The Africanized honey bee, a hybrid of Apis mellifera scutellata from Africa with European subspecies, has been considered an invasive species and a problem for beekeeping.

Allele Frequencies of Genetic Variants Associated with Varroa Drone Brood Resistance (DBR) in Apis mellifera Subspecies across the European Continent

Insects
Implementation of marker-assisted selection (MAS) in modern beekeeping would improve sustainability, especially in breeding programs aiming for resilience against the parasitic mite Varroa destructor.

Temporal patterns of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) mitochondrial DNA variation in the archipelago of Azores (Portugal) [PDF]

, 2010
Morphological and molecular studies have been carried out on different Mediterranean and Atlantic island populations of honey bees. A previous genetic survey of the Azorean honey bees, carried out by De la Rúa and colleagues (2006), showed their genetic ...

New COI-COII mtDNA Region Haplotypes in the Endemic Honey Bees Apis mellifera intermissa and Apis mellifera sahariensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Algeria

Insects
The practice of beekeeping in Algeria is of great cultural, social, and economic importance. However, the importation of non-local subspecies reported by beekeepers has disrupted the natural geographical distribution area and the genetic diversity of the
