“…In the present study there were two southeastern European subspecies, A. m. carnica and A. m. macedonica, which both belong to the C2D and C2E mtDNA haplotype (Susnik et al, 2004;Kozmus et al, 2007) of the C Mediterranean lineage (Garnery et al, 1992;Franck et al, 2000;Meixner et al, 2007). Indigenous non-hybridized A. m. carnica populations in the region (Stanimirovic et al, 2005;Sušnik et al, 2004;Kozmus et al, 2007), an important genetic resource for future bee breeding programs (Stanimirovic et al, 2005;De la Rua, 2009), may be more resistant to N. ceranae. Nevertheless, the influence of bee subspecies on their susceptibility could be the subject of further investigation.…”

“…In Apis mellifera and Apis cerana, population studies have been developed using both mtDNA and microsatellite analysis and have increased our comprehension about subspecies population dynamics, biogeography, introgression, and evolution (Franck et al, 1998(Franck et al, , 2000aSegura, 2000;Sheppard and Smith, 2000;De la Rúa et al, 2001Paar et al, 2004;Sušnik et al, 2004). Similarly, morphometric analysis combined with molecular data has been applied to study intogression in honey bees (Meixner et al, 1993(Meixner et al, , 2000.…”

-Molecular markers are widely used in biology to address questions related to ecology, genetics and evolution. In bees, molecular studies addressing those issues have focused on Apis and Apis mellifera. Here we describe examples where molecular markers from mtDNA and microsatellite analyses were applied to stingless bees species. The data obtained, although in some cases preliminary, have already proven useful to infer hypotheses about phylogeny, population dynamics, species validity and the evolution of this group of bees. stingless bees / molecular marker / mitochondrial DNA / microsatellite / evolution / Apidae / Meliponini

“…Carniolan bees (A. m. carnica) have a natural distribution from central to the south and south east of Europe. Distinct subpopulations of A. m. carnica have been described based on morphological data (Ruttner, 1988;Dietz, 2003) but also at the molecular level (Susnik et al, 2004;De la Rúa, et al, 2009;Muňoz et al, 2009). These populations were result of geographic isolation, but over the last few centuries, they have been influenced by the trade of swarms and queens.…”

SummaryThe objective of this study was to compare the colony development cycle (unsealed and sealed worker brood, drone brood, pollen and colony strength) of two Apis mellifera carnica subpopulations in two distinct environments (alpine and continental). At each test location were two sub groups of 12 colonies headed by naturally mated sister queens from either the Institute of Apiculture Lunz am See, Austria (AT) or from the Faculty of Agriculture University of Zagreb, Croatia (HR). Colony development was monitored every 14 days. The HR genotype, adapted to a continental climate, had faster spring brood development in both environments. During spring and early summer the AT genotype maintained the number of sealed brood cells at a constant level in the more favourable conditions, although the amount of unsealed brood reached its maximum in early June. The environment influenced colony development, food stores and colony strength. Interaction between genotype and environment did not affect the number of unsealed brood cells, but the difference was statistically significant for the number of sealed brood cells. The study indicated the presence of a number of genotype and environment interactions between the two honey bee genotypes and their colony traits. Desarrollo de colonias de dos genotipos Carniola (Apis mellifera carnica) en relación con el medio ambiente ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el ciclo de desarrollo de la colonia (cría de obreras operculada y no operculada, cría de zánganos, el polen y la fuerza de colonias) de dos subpoblaciones de Apis mellifera carnica en dos ambientes distintos (alpino y continental). En cada lugar de prueba se pusieron dos subgrupos de 12 colonias encabezadas por reinas hermanas fecundadas naturalmente, ya sea del Instituto de Apicultura Lunz am See, Austria (AT) o de la Facultad de Agricultura de la Universidad de Zagreb, Croacia (HR). El desarrollo de las colonias se controló cada 14 días. El genotipo HR, adaptado a un clima continental, tuvo un desarrollo más rápido de la cría en primavera en ambos ambientes. Durante la primavera y principios del verano el genotipo AT mantuvo el número de celdas de cría operculadas a un nivel constante en las condiciones más favorables, aunque la cantidad de cría abierta alcanzó su máximo a principios de junio. El ambiente influyó en el desarrollo de las colonias, la reserva de alimentos y la fuerza de la colonia. La interacción entre el genotipo y el medio ambiente no afectó el número de celdas de cría sin opercular, pero la diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa para el número de celdas de cría operculada. El estudio indicó la presencia de una serie de interacciones del genotipo con el medio ambiente entre los dos genotipos de abejas y los caracteres de sus colonias.Keywords: Apis mellifera carnica, genotype x environment interactions, colony development, local adaptation 262 Drazic et al.
