H istory sometimes takes ironical twists, and the history of science is no exception.
Microsatellites have been detected in eukaryote genomes for over 15 years, though they …

From a total of 524 microsatellite loci considered in nearly 40 000 individuals of 78 species,
freshwater fish displayed levels of population genetic variation (mean heterozygosity, h= 0 …

A new method for assigning individuals of unknown origin to populations, based on the

Europe harbours several endemic honeybee (Apis mellifera) subspecies. Yet the distribution
of these subspecies is nowadays also much influenced by beekee** activities. Large …

The natural diversity of honey bees in Europe is eroding fast. A multitude of reasons lead to
a loss of both genetic diversity and specific adaptations to local conditions. To preserve …

Genetic variation at 20 microsatellite loci was surveyed to determine the evolutionary
relationships and molecular biogeography of 20 different cattle populations from Africa …

The taxonomy of honey bee A. mellifera contains a lot of issues due to the specificity of
population structure, features of biology and resolutions of honey bee subspecies …

A honey bee colony is characterized by high genetic diversity among its workers, generated
by high levels of multiple mating by its queen. Few clear benefits of this genetic diversity are …
