Abstract excerpt
The honeybee, Apis mellifera, is a globally distributed species that has spread both naturally and by humans across the globe resulting in many natural and secondary contact zones. The geographic isolation of honeybees is likely to contribute to genetic differentiation. Secondary contact has resulted in hybridization at the nuclear genome, but replacement of mitochondrial. Here, we used a mitochondrial marker and...
