Workflows

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are essential pollinators supporting agricultural production and wild plant diversity. In evolutionary lineage M, some populations are threatened by genetic erosion caused by the widespread introduction of commercially bred queens. To assess this risk, wing images from existing and new datasets were used to assign them to four evolutionary lineages (A, C, M, and O). The new dataset consisted of 29,043 wing images representing 1,342 colony samples from ten countries. ...

We present an R script that describes the workflow for analysing honey bee (Apis mellifera) wing shape. It is based on a dataset of wing images and landmark coordinates available at Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8128010. The dataset can be used as a reference for the identification of local bees from southern Kazakhstan, which most probably belong to the subspecies Apis mellifera pomonella. It was compared with data from Nawrocka et al. (2018), available at Zenodo: ...

We present an R script that describes the workflow for analysing honey bee (Apis mellifera) wing shape. It is based on a large dataset of wing images and landmark coordinates available at Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7244070. The dataset can be used as a reference for the identification of unknown samples. As unknown samples, we used data from Nawrocka et al. (2018), available at Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7567336. Among others, the script can be used to identify the geographic ...
