A genome-wide signature of positive selection in ancient and recent invasive expansions of the honey bee Apis mellifera.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 4 Mar 2008

Zayed Amro, Whitfield Charles W

Abstract excerpt

Apis mellifera originated in Africa and extended its range into Eurasia in two or more ancient expansions. In 1956, honey bees of African origin were introduced into South America, their descendents admixing with previously introduced European bees, giving rise to the highly invasive and economic...
