Museum samples reveal rapid evolution by wild honey bees exposed to a novel parasite.

Nature communications - 6 Aug 2015

Mikheyev Alexander S, Tin Mandy M Y, Arora Jatin, Seeley Thomas D

Abstract excerpt

Understanding genetic changes caused by novel pathogens and parasites can reveal mechanisms of adaptation and genetic robustness. Using whole-genome sequencing of museum and modern specimens, we describe the genomic changes in a wild population of honey bees in North America following the introduction of the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor. Even though colony density in the study population is the same...
