Signals of Ancestry-Specific Selection in Gentle Africanized Honey Bees.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of adaptive responses to environmental and human mediated pressures is a central concern in evolutionary biology. Population admixture, a process wherein genetically differentiated populations interbreed, is increasingly recognized as a source of genetic material driving rapid evolutionary responses. Honey bees from Puerto Rico are a phenotypically distinct population of...
