Understanding the genetic mechanisms of adaptive population divergence is one of
the most fundamental endeavours in evolutionary biology and is becoming increasingly
important as it will allow predictions about how organisms will respond to
global environmental crisis. 

This study enabled a
more rigorous consideration of selection as the underlying cause of diversity patterns
in Iberian honey bees, representing an important first step towards the identification
of polymorphisms implicated in local adaptation and possibly in response to recent
human-mediated environmental changes.
