Variaciones morfométricas y conductuales de la abeja melífera (Apis mellifera) en diferentes pisos altitudinales en la serranía ecuatoriana.

Abstract: En la zona centro de la serranía ecuatoriana se evaluó el efecto de diferentes pisos altitudinales en indicadores morfométricos (tamaño de celdilla, coloración de las abejas) y conductuales (conducta higiénica y defensiva) de Apis mellifera; para ello se realizaron tres muestreos en los meses de marzo, junio y septiembre de 2017 en apiarios de las provincias de Tungurahua (6) y Chimborazo (10), en cada uno se seleccionaron las cinco colmenas más productivas. Se utilizó la estadística descriptiva y las comparac… Show more

“…The mite is associated with different viruses that can be lethal to honey bees, being the Deformed Wings Virus the most prevalent around the world due to its transmission and replication by varroa [8]; In addition, varroa has been identified as a relevant risk factor within the colony collapse disorder around the world [9]. There are some honey bees populations that survive to varroa [10], with the ability to maintain the mite population below permissible levels. It has been considered that some of the most important traits associated with this phenomenon are grooming and hygienic behavior sensitive to varroa [11], highlighting the importance of defense traits in the immunity of social bees [12].…”
