Charles Sutherland Scholarship Fund - genetic diversity of bumblebee
Biologists and conservationists have long been interested in the study of island populations which may face genetic bottlenecks due to predicted smaller population sizes and barriers to gene flow. This can be especially detrimental for organisms, such as bumblebees, which have haplodiploid sex determination whereby males develop from unfertilised (haploid)…
