Over 24 honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) subspecies occur naturally in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Morphological and molecular markers have grouped this wide-ranging diversity into four lineages (A, M, C, O). The Iberian Peninsula harbours two of such lineages (A and M) and the greatest honey bee maternal diversity and complexity across Europe. While the Spanish honey bee populations have been extensively ...
Se presenta en esta comunicación un proyecto de investigación financiado por la Fundación para la Ciencia y la Tecnología del Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología y Educación Superior de Portugal, para el periodo 2010-2012. El objetivo general de este proyecto es examinar los patrones y procesos de variación (neutral y adaptativa) de la abeja Apis mellifera iberiensis de la península Ibérica, usando para ello las ...
While landscape genetics is in its infancy, it is a rapidly growing research field in part owing to the increasing availability of powerful molecular and analytical tools. By integrating landscape ecology, spatial statistics and population genetics, landscape genetics is allowing an unprecedented understanding of the microevolutionary processes shaping genetic variation, which has important implications for the...
