The genomic basis of local adaptation in honeybees Uncovering the genetic basis of adaptive traits and the processes that drive adaptation are important goals in biology. Here I will describe recent studies of the genomics of local adaptation in bees. The results highlight the importance of chromosomal inversions in adaptation and demonstrate how admixture can facilitate adaptation. I will also present studies of the genomic basis of adaptive response to recent environmental change.
