Genetic structure of drone congregation areas of Africanized honeybees in southern Brazil [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009 As yet, certain aspects of the Africanization process are not well understood, for example, the reproductive behavior of African and European honeybees and how the first Africanized swarms were formed and spread.

Africanized honeybees are slower learners than their European counterparts. [PDF]
Naturwissenschaften, 2010 Does cognitive ability always correlate with a positive fitness consequence? Previous research in both vertebrates and invertebrates provides mixed results. Here, we compare the learning and memory abilities of Africanized honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata hybrid) and European honeybees (Apis mellifera ligustica).

Genomewide analysis of admixture and adaptation in the Africanized honeybee [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractGenetic exchange by hybridization or admixture can make an important contribution to evolution, and introgression of favourable alleles can facilitate adaptation to new environments. A small number of honeybees (Apis mellifera) with African ancestry were introduced to Brazil ~60 years ago, which dispersed and hybridized with existing managed ...

Genetic parameters for five traits in Africanized honeybees using Bayesian inference [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2013 Heritability and genetic correlations for honey (HP) and propolis production (PP), hygienic behavior (HB), syrupcollection rate (SCR) and percentage of mites on adult bees (PMAB) of a population of Africanized honeybees were estimated.
