Use of Wing Geometric Morphometric Analysis and mtDNA to Identify Africanization of <i>Apis mellifera</i> in the Central Highlands of Ecuador

Seventy-five samples were collected from 15 beehives in the central highlands of Ecuador (Tungurahua–Chimborazo) to assess Africanization in managed bee populations using wing geometric morphometric and mitochondrial DNA analyses. The results indicated that when grouping the apiaries based on altitu...
