Biodiversity of Apis mellifera populations from Tenerife (Canary Islands) and hybridisation with East European races PILAR DE LA RÚA, JOSÉ SERRANO and JOSÉ GALIÁN Departamento de Biología Animal, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Murcia, 2001     Abstract. The biodiversity of honeybee (Apis mellifera) populations from Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) has been assessed by restriction

The genetic structure of Apis mellifera populations from the Canary Islands has been assessed by mitochondrial (restriction fragment length polymorphisms of the intergenic transfer RNA leu -COII region) and nuclear (microsatellites) studies. These populations show a low level of genetic variation in terms of average number of alleles and degree of heterozygosity. Significant differences in
