This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genomic admixture, the mixture of two or more distinct gene pools, is a common and widespread biological phenomenon of significant evolutionary importance. The African-hybrid honey bee (AHB) represents one of the most impressive and ecologically successful cases of admixture in a social insect. While honey bees are now a common feature of the American landscape and an indispensable part of commercial agriculture, their origins are rooted in importations from Eurasia and Africa that began in the 1500s. The African-hybrid honey bee (AHB) is a New World amalgamation of several subspecies of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera). Apis mellifera is a taxonomically diverse species, comprised of more than 30 subspecies historically grouped into four major biogeographic lineages: African (A), Western European (M), Eastern European (C), and Eastern Mediterranean (O). In 1956, honey bee biologists in Brazil imported honey bee queens of the African subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata for experimental breeding with pre-existing European stock. Researchers hoped to forge a honey bee that combined the tropical hardiness of A. m. scutellata with the honey production capabilities and gentleness of the popular European subspecies currently in use. In a now infamous incident, these experimental "Africanized" hybrids were accidently released from their research apiaries, initiating a spectacular hybrid species expansion that now extends from northern Argentina to northern California (U.S.A.). The heightened degree of territorial nest defense characteristic of African-hybrid honey bees spurred a large degree of public concern over the expansion and success of this invasive insect--gaining it substantial attention from popular press who dubbed it the "killer bee". To this end, this dissertation seeks to characterize genomic admixture dynamics and nest defense behavior in the African-hybrid honey bee. I hope my work serves to inform adaptive honey bee breeding practices that will aid in the preservation of a robust population of honey bees for commercial pollination and help combat world-wide honey bee declines.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Western Honeybee (Apis mellifera) displays a special form of social behavior called eusociality. The evolution of its reproductively specialized castes and social behavior from a solitary ancestor may be explained by the reproductive ground plan hypothesis. This hypothesis predicts a relationship between the variation of ovary size and -activity and social behavior. At the phenotypic level, ovary size has been associated with a whole set of behavioral phenotypes, known as the pollen hoarding syndrome. While many of these phenotypes are potentially influenced by regulatory pathways, involving juvenile hormone and vitellogenin, the exact genetic links between ovary size determination and social behavior are still unknown. To test the generality of the hypothesized genetic linkage between reproductive and social behavior, I investigated the genetic architecture of ovary size differences between Africanized and European honey bees. Two backcrosses of a hybrid queen and Africanized drones that resulted in transgressive worker ovary phenotypes were studied for pleiotropic effects of existing behavioral QTL and potential new QTL with a combination of SNP and microsatellite markers. Analyses show small but significant effects on ovary size for some of the behavioral QTL, as predicted by the reproductive ground plan hypothesis. In addition, I detected two new QTL of major effect on ovary size. I describe potential candidate genes for the QTL and suggest that the detected major and minor effects could reflect genetic control of caste divergence and worker division of labor, respectively, representing two distinct stages of honey bee social evolution that may be connected via female reproductive physiology."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2007-05-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination. This report provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America's most important managed pollinator, the honey bee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds. For most managed and wild pollinator species, however, population trends have not been assessed because populations have not been monitored over time. In addition, for wild species with demonstrated declines, it is often difficult to determine the causes or consequences of their decline. This report outlines priorities for research and monitoring that are needed to improve information on the status of pollinators and establishes a framework for conservation and restoration of pollinator species and communities.

Book excerpt: This book is the first review of the scientific literature on the Africanized honey bee. The African subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata (formerly adansonii) was introduced into South America in 1956 with the intent of cross-breeding it with other subspecies of bees already present in Brazil to obtain a honey bee better adapted to tropical conditions. Shortly after its introduction, some of the African stock became established in the feral population around Sao Paulo, Brazil, and spread rapidly through Brazil. It has since migrated through most of the neotropics, displacing and/or hybridizing with the previously imported subspecies of honey bees. Africanized bees have been stereotype d as having high rates of swarming and absconding, rapid colony growth, and fierce defensivebehavior. As they have spread through the neotropics they have interacted with the human population, disrupting apiculture and urban activities when high levels of defensive behavior are expressed.

Book excerpt: A million pounds of honey. Produced by a billion bees! This memoir reconstructs the life of a young man from Pennsylvania as he drops into the bald prairie badlands of southern Saskatchewan. He buys a honey ranch and keeps the bees that make the honey. But he also spends winters in Florida swamps, nurse-maid to ten thousand dainty queen bees. From the dusty Canadian prairie to the thick palmetto swamps of the American south, the reader meets with simple folks who shape the protagonist's character - including a Cree rancher with three sons playing NHL hockey, a Hutterite preacher who yearns to roam the globe, a reclusive bee-eating homesteader, and a grey-headed widow who grows grapefruit, plays a nasty game of scrabble, and lives with four vicious dogs. Encompassing a ten-year period, this true story evolves from the earnest inexperience of the young man as he learns an art and builds a business. Carefully researched natural biology runs counterpoint to human social activities. Bee craft serves as the setting for expositions that contrast American and Canadian lifestyles, while exemplifying the harsh reality of a man working with and against the physical environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africanized honey bees entered California in 1994 but few accounts of their northward expansion or their frequency relative to European honey bees have been published. We used mitochondrial markers and morphometric analysis to determine the prevalence of Africanized honeybees in San Diego County and their current northward progress in California, west of the Sierra Nevada crest. The northernmost African mitotypes detected were approximately 40 km south of Sacramento in California's central valley. In San Diego County, 65% of foraging honey bee workers carry the African mitochondria and the estimated percentage of Africanized workers using morphological measurements is similar (61%). There was no correlation between mitotype and morphology in San Diego County suggesting these Africanized bees result from bidirectional hybridization. Seventy percent of feral hives, but only 13% of managed hives, sampled in San Diego County carried the African mitotype indicating that a large fraction of foraging workers in both urban and rural San Diego County are feral. We also found a single nucleotide polymorphism at the DNA barcode locus COI that distinguishes European and African mitotypes. The utility of this marker was confirmed using the worldwide Barcode of Life Database. Future censuses could determine whether the current range of the Africanized form is stable and the environmental factors that may underlie it.
