“…In agreement with this hypothesis, a decreasing gradient of African mitochondrial haplotypes occurs from south to north, while the inverse situation occurs with west European haplotypes Garnery et al, 1995Garnery et al, , 1998aSheppard et al, 1996). On the contrary, microsatellite analyses of A. m. iberica show allelic patterns similar to A. m. mellifera, with almost no introgression of African alleles (Franck et al, 1998;Garnery et al, 1998b).…”

“…Schiff and Sheppard (1995) reported significant differences between feral and commercial populations of honey bees from the southern United States based on mtDNA haplotypes and allozyme variability. Sheppard et al (1996) examined mtDNA variation among endemic honey bee subspecies using the restriction anzyme Hinfl and identified twenty different mtDNA haplotypes.…”

-Comparative chromosomal investigations of three honey bee ecotypes of A. m. carnica (the Banat, the Timok and the Syenichko-Peshterski ecotype) from Serbia were performed. G-band analyses revealed differences between Timok and Banat honey bee ecotypes in chromosomes 2, 4, 11 and 13. Between the Timok and Syenichko-Peshterski ecotypes, differences were observed for chromosomes 1, 12, 15 and 16. The greatest differences in G-band number and distribution were registered between the Syenichko-Peshterski and Banat ecotypes in chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16. The results point to great interecotype variability of G-band pattern of chromosomes of the carniolan honey bee in Serbia. To preserve such honey bee diversity in Serbia, the three investigated ecotypes require attention for conservation.Apis mellifera carnica / polymorphism / G-band / chromosomes / diversity

“…Apis mellifera L. mtDNA is approximately 16 300 base pairs (bp) long (Crozier and Crozier, 1993). Polymorphism of Apis mtDNA has provided markers that have been extremely important for the study of populations, hybridization, subspecies, and species (Arias et al, 1990;Sheppard et al, 1991a;Sheppard et al, 1991b;Smith et al, 1991;Garnery et al, 1992;Lobo, 1995;Sheppard et al, 1996;Meixner et al, 2000). The great volume of data generated by the analysis of this molecule in Apis encouraged us to apply the same techniques to related questions in other bees.…”

Mitochondrial DNA characterization of five species of Plebeia (Apidae: Meliponini): RFLP and restriction maps

2001

-The present work characterized the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of five species of Plebeia (Plebeia droryana, P. emerina, P. remota, P. saiqui and P. sp.) and generate a data set to be used in further populational, phylogenetic, and biogeographic studies. The mtDNA of each species was analyzed using 17 restriction enzymes and restriction maps were built. A high level of interspecific variability was found. The total size of the mtDNA was estimated to be 18500 bp. Through a combination of PCR and examination of restriction fragment length polymorphism, the locations of 14 of the main mitochondrial genes were located on restriction maps. We verified a gene order identical to Apis mellifera.Plebeia / stingless bee / mtDNA / rflp / restriction map
