SNPs selected by information content outperform randomly selected microsatellite loci for delineating genetic identification and introgression in the endangered dark European honeybee (Apis mellifera mellifera)

The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been threatened by multiple factors including pests and pathogens, pesticidesand loss of locally adapted gene complexes due to replacement and introgression. In western Europe, the geneticintegrity of the native A. m. mellifera (M-lineage) is endangered due to tradi...
