A Península Ibérica tem sido reconhecida como um "hotspot" de diversidade c endemismo para diversas espécies quer animais quer vegetais. Em parte esta grande diversidade encontrada na Península Ibérica deve-se ao flicto de este local ter sido utilizado como refúgio por diferentes espécies durante as glaciaçôes A abelha é um dos muitos casos onde este processo aconteceu. Na verdade, a Península Ibérica é umas da...
The Iberian Peninsula has been recognized as a hot spot of diversity and endemisms for numerous plant and animal species, and the honeybee is no exception. Honey bees occur naturally in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In this vast range of habitats, adaptation to the diverse ecological conditions has led to evolution of over 29 subspecies, which have been grouped into five lineages. The Iberian Peninsula ha...
The Honey bee, Apis mellifera L., occurs naturally in Africa, Middle East and Europe. The adaptation to a diversity of ecological conditions has led to evolution of over 24 subspecies. The honey bee subspecies that occurs in the Iberian Peninsula is Apis mellifera iberiensis, which is originated by natural hybridization between lineage A (African) and lineage M (western European). The objective of this study wa...
Several studies have grouped the A. mellifera subspecies into five lineages (A, M, C, O and Y). Honey bees occurring in the Iberian Peninsula are considered a particular subspecies, named Apis mellifera iberiensis, originated by natural hybridization among lineages A (African) and M (western European). This study seeks to identify the level of introgression of lineage C honey bees (A. m. ligustica and A.m. carn...
