to climate shifts in the neotropical lowland forests, learning from the past to inform …

A recurrent concern in nature conservation is the potential competition for forage plants
between wild bees and managed honey bees. Specifically, that the highly sophisticated …

Background Controlled mating procedures are widely accepted as a key aspect of
successful breeding in almost all animal species. In honeybees, however, controlled mating …

The genetic diversity of the USA honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations was examined
through a molecular approach using two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers. A total of …
