Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity and population differentiation of the giant honey bee (Apis dorsata) in Thailand were examined. Six PCR-RFLP mitotypes were generated from digestion of the COI-COII, Cytb-tRNA(ser), ATPase6-8, and lrRNA genes with Dra I and Hin fI. Low genetic diversity (h=0.074, pi=0.032%) and a lack of genetic population differentiation between A. dorsata originating from geographically different regions were...
