Morphometric analysis of honey bees from an area of racial hybridization in northeastern Italy [Apis mellifera carnica, Apis mellifera ligustica]

A morphometric analysis of some bee populations from Friuli (northeastern Italy) was carried out employing 15 fore-wing characters. Samples of A m ligustica and A m carnica, collected from the respective distribution areas, were also analyzed. On the grounds of the results obtained from a discrimina...

Zusammenfassung:A morphometric analysis of some bee populations from Friuli (northeastern Italy) was carried out employing 15 fore-wing characters. Samples of A m ligustica and A m carnica, collected from the respective distribution areas, were also analyzed. On the grounds of the results obtained from a discriminant analysis and a cluster analysis of the Mahalanobis distances, it can be confirmed that the Friuli populations studied are hybrids between A m ligustica and A m carnica.
