Modelling the impacts of imports and non-native subspecies hybridisation in honeybees

2025-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Human-mediated movement of organisms for agriculture and ecosystem services often results in hybridisation and introgression between populations of native and non-native species. While introgression may increase genetic diversity, it can erode unique adaptations and reduce fitness, threatening the survival of native lineages. Honeybees offer a good model with extensive records, queen trade and migratory beekeeping...
