Abstract(s)

In the current context of a global human-mediated environmental crisis, understanding which genes and mechanisms are responsible for adaptation to different climates will enable predictions on how organisms will respond to a rapidly changing world. This is particularly important for the honey bee, a key-stone species for ecosystem functioning and economy, which is facing increasing pressures from the effects of intensified land use, climate change, and the spread of pests and pathogens. The aim of this work is searching for signatures of selection along the genome of 87 individuals using two different allele-environment association approaches.
