Temporal genetic structure of a drone congregation area of the giant Asian honeybee (Apis dorsata).

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Dec 2005

Kraus F B, Koeniger N, Tingek S, Moritz R F A

Abstract excerpt

The giant Asian honeybee (Apis dorsata), like all other members of the genus Apis, has a complex mating system in which the queens and males (drones) mate at spatially defined drone congregation areas (DCAs). Here, we studied the temporal genetic structure of a DCA of A. dorsata over an 8-day time window by the genotyping of sampled drones with microsatellite markers. Analysis of the genotypic data revealed a...
