-The geographic relationships and biogeography of Apis cerana have been studied extensively, but Korean populations have not been investigated thoroughly. We sequenced the non-coding region between the tRNA Leu and COII mitochondrial (mt) genes (herein named NC2) of Korean samples, along with the samples from seven Asian localities (China, Vietnam, and Thailand). Four undiscovered haplotypes were found in Korea and China, respectively. A phylogenetic analysis confirmed that Korean A. cerana belonged to the Mainland Asian group. Dominance of Japan1 haplotype in Mainland Asia including Korea suggests extensive gene flow and a common genetic origin. A newly developed non-coding region between the tRNA Met and tRNA Gln mt genes (named NC1) provided nine haplotypes with twice the number of variable positions compared to those in NC2. A NC1-based phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of two phylogenetic groups in Apis cerana from Korea suggesting two different sources.genetic relationships / Asian cavity-nesting honey bee / Apis cerana / mitochondrial DNA / non-coding sequence

We examine the population genetic structure and divergence among the regional populations of the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica, by re‐sequencing the genomes of 105 individuals from the three main Japanese islands with diverse climates. The genetic structure results indicated that these individuals are distinct from the mainland Chinese A. cerana samples. Furthermore, population structure analyses have identified three genetically distinct geographic regions in Japan: Northern (Tohoku‐Kanto‐Chubu districts), Central (Chugoku district), and Southern (Kyushu district). In some districts, “possible non‐native” individuals, likely introduced from other regions in recent years, were discovered. Then, genome‐wide scans were conducted to detect candidate genes for adaptation by two different approaches. We performed a population branch statistics (PBS) analysis to identify candidate genes for population‐specific divergence. A latent factor mixed model (LFMM) was used to identify genes associated with climatic variables along a geographic gradient. The PBSmax analysis identified 25 candidate genes for population‐specific divergence whereas the LFMM analysis identified 73 candidate genes for adaptation to climatic variables along a geographic gradient. However, no common genes were identified by both methods.
