A genomic and morphometric analysis of alpine bumblebees: Ongoing reductions in tongue length but no clear genetic componentNARA Subscribed
Over the last six decades, populations of the bumblebees Bombus sylvicola and Bombus balteatus in Colorado have experienced decreases in tongue length, a trait important for plant‐pollinator mutualisms. It has been hypothesized that this observation reflects selection resulting from shifts in floral composition under climate change. Here we used morphometrics and population genomics to determine whether morphological change is...
Chromosomal inversions can facilitate local adaptation in the presence of gene flow by suppressing recombination between well‐adapted native haplotypes and poorly adapted migrant haplotypes. East African mountain populations of the honeybee Apis mellifera are highly divergent from neighbouring lowland populations at two extended regions in the genome, despite high similarity in the rest of the genome, suggesting that these gen...
