Phylogenetics of Bees is a rigorous, advanced academic volume dedicated to unraveling the evolutionary history, systematics, and genetic variation of bee species globally. Edited by prominent insect geneticists Rustem Abuzarovich Ilyasov and Hyung Wook Kwon, the text combines foundational apidology and biogeography with contemporary molecular phylogenetics and genomic analysis. It serves as an authoritative reference for entomologists, evolutionary biologists, apicultural scientists, and researchers investigating pollinator diversity and conservation genetics.
Key Topics Covered:
- Systematics & Evolutionary Lineages: Reconstructing the phylogenetic trees and ancestral relationships across diverse bee taxa, synthesizing classical morphometric classification with modern cladistics.
- Molecular Phylogenetics & Genomics: Applications of mitochondrial DNA markers, nuclear gene sequencing, and high-throughput genomic methodologies to trace lineage diversification and species radiation.
- Biogeography & Genetic Variation: Analysis of spatial distribution patterns, subspecific differentiation, and ecological adaptation mechanisms across wild pollinator and managed honeybee populations.
- Conservation Genetics & Biodiversity: Utilizing evolutionary and population genetic data to evaluate biodiversity threats, preserve native subspecies, and understand host-pathogen evolutionary dynamics.
