Comparative Morphometric Studies on the Indian Honeybee of the North-West Himalayas 2. Wings

Geographical races of Apis cerana Fabricius in China and their distribution. Review of recent Chinese publications and a preliminary statistical analysis

“…The same reason is also true when comparing data on Apis cerana collected in China to those collected in Japan (Sakagami, 1959), Sri Lanka (Fernando, 1959) or India Verma, 1983 and1984). Therefore, it is not known how closely related races of Apis cerana in China are to those of Japan, Sri Lanka, or India, except in the case of the geographical race of southern Yunnan, which very likely is Apis cerana indica, as suggested by Yang (1984b).…”

Multivariate morphometrics of the Indian honeybee in the northwest Himalayan region

“…With 20 groups of equal prior probability, 5% could be correctly classified by chance alone.

A morphometric analysis of Apis cerana F and Apis nigrocincta Smith populations from Southeast Asia

“…Both Smith and Hagen (1996) The fore wing and leg characters are the same as described by Ruttner (1988) and Ruttner et al (1978), while the hind wing characters are those of Mattu and Verma (1984 Thorpe (1988) and Daly (1992) Ruttner, 1988) and A nigrocincta (from Hadisoesilo and Otis, 1996) (Wilkinson, 1990 Hadisoesilo and Otis (1996). The multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS) Figure 5 shows the graph of the two factors (= discriminant functions) derived from the analysis.…”
