Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ahmed Batainh"

  • - Ahmed Batainh's research primarily focuses on the conservation and genomic studies of native honeybee subspecies in the Levant region and North Africa, particularly Apis mellifera syriaca and Apis mellifera intermissa.
  • - His study on A. mellifera syriaca highlights its behavioral adaptations to extreme climates, susceptibility to environmental threats, and genetic resistance to pests like Varroa mites.
  • - Batainh's work also includes the genome sequencing of A. mellifera intermissa, contributing to the understanding of the genetic diversity and adaptation of honeybees in North Africa.
