Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Beekee** is a cornerstone activity that has led to the human-mediated, global spread of
western honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) outside their native range of Europe, western Asia …

The origin of the western honey bee Apis mellifera has been intensely debated. Addressing
this knowledge gap is essential for understanding the evolution and genetics of one of the …

The genomic era has led to an unprecedented increase in the availability of genome‐wide
data for a broad range of taxa. Wildlife management strives to make use of these vast …

Background With numerous endemic subspecies representing four of its five evolutionary
lineages, Europe holds a large fraction of Apis mellifera genetic diversity. This diversity and …

Honey bees are large-scale monitoring tools due to their extensive environmental
exploration. In their activities and from the hive ecosystem complex, they get in close contact …

Noninvasively collected samples are a common source of DNA in wildlife genetic studies.
Currently, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genoty** using microfluidic arrays is …

Pollination is a key ecosystem service for agricultural systems and Western honey bees,
Apis mellifera, are the most important managed pollinators. Major losses of managed honey …

The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been threatened by multiple factors including pests and
pathogens, pesticides and loss of locally adapted gene complexes due to replacement and …

The most important managed pollinator, the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.), has been subject
to a growing number of threats. In western Europe, one such threat is large‐scale …
