Novel microsatellite loci reveal high genetic diversity yet low population structure for alfalfa leafcutting bees in North America

2017-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata (ALCB) is an economically important pollinator necessary for seed production of the critical forage crop alfalfa, Medicago sativa. The pollinator was accidentally introduced to North America from Europe approximately 70 years ago, and it is primarily produced in Canada and shipped to the United States annually en masse for seed field pollination. We investigate how...
