No severe genetic bottleneck in a rapidly range-expanding bumblebee pollinator.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 10 Feb 2021

Abstract excerpt

Genetic bottlenecks can limit the success of populations colonizing new ranges. However, successful colonizations can occur despite bottlenecks, a phenomenon known as the genetic paradox of invasion. Eusocial Hymenoptera such as bumblebees (Bombus spp.) should be particularly vulnerable to genetic bottlenecks, since homozygosity at the sex-determining locus leads to costly diploid male production (DMP). The Tree...
