Selection and hybridization shaped the rapid spread of African honey bee ancestry in the Americas.

PLoS genetics - 1 Oct 2020

Calfee Erin, Agra Marcelo Nicolás, Palacio María Alejandra, Ramírez Santiago R, Coop Graham

Abstract excerpt

Recent biological invasions offer 'natural' laboratories to understand the genetics and ecology of adaptation, hybridization, and range limits. One of the most impressive and well-documented biological invasions of the 20th century began in 1957 when Apis mellifera scutellata honey bees swarmed out of managed experimental colonies in Brazil. This newly-imported subspecies, native to southern and eastern Africa,...
