Defensive Behavior and Morphometric Variation in Apis mellifera Colonies From Two Different Agro-Ecological Zones of North-Western Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-14)European lineages of Apis mellifera were first introduced into America for beekeeping purposes. A subsequent introduction and accidental release of A. m. scutellata resulted in hybridization events that gave rise to ... -
Expression analysis of genes putatively associated with hygienic behavior in selected stocks of Apis mellifera L. from Argentina
(2017-11)Hygienic behavior is an economically beneficial, heritable trait, which has evolved to limit the impact of honeybee pathogens. Selecting and breeding colonies with high levels of hygienic behavior has become a feasible and ... -
Individual precocity, temporal persistence, and task-specialization of hygienic bees from selected colonies of apis mellifera
(2016)Hygienic behaviour is a complex trait that gives Apis mellifera L. resistance against brood diseases. Variability in the expression of hygienic behaviour is evidenced at the colonylevel and is explained by the proportion ... -
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of Africanized Apis mellifera colonies with natural tolerance to Varroa destructor and contrasting defensive behavior
(Frontiers Media, 2023-08-31)Africanized Apis mellifera colonies with promising characteristics for beekeeping have been detected in northern Argentina (subtropical climate) and are considered of interest for breeding programs. Integral evaluation of ... -
Primer reporte de un área de congregación de zánganos de Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) de Argentina = First report of a drone congregation area of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Argentina
(Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2017)La reproducción natural de las abejas melíferas ocurre en zonas denominadas áreas de congregación de zánganos (ACZ), visitadas por machos, denominados zánganos, y reinas integrantes de varias colonias. Dichas áreas se ... -
Scientific note: first global report of a bee nest built only with plastic
(INRA, DIB; Springer-Verlag France, 2019-01-28)Agricultural plastic waste can alter wildlife diversity and behavior. Species survival will depend on their ability to adapt to new environmental conditions. In a seed-producing farm, a Megachile sp. nest made fully ... -
Varroa destructor parasitism and genetic variability at honey bee (Apis mellifera) drone congregation areas and their associations with environmental variables in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11)Varroa destructor is a serious ectoparasite of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, which negatively impacts on colonies health and survival worldwide. Drone-mediated movement and the presence of the mite in Drone ...
