Effects of landscape, resource use, and body size on genetic structure in bee populations
Quantifying genetic structure and levels of genetic variation are important to predicting the ability of populations to persist in human‐altered landscapes and adapt to future environmental changes. We assessed genetic diversity and genetic structure for seven Euglossine bee species that vary in resource specialization and body size.
