Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Almudena Cepero"
- Almudena Cepero's research focuses on the health and genetic diversity of honey bee colonies, specifically investigating the impact of parasites and pathogens like Nosema and Varroa on their population stability and genetic variation over time.
- Recent studies demonstrate that despite the alarming spread of honey bee diseases, such as varroosis and nosemosis, there appears to be a stable genetic diversity within Iberian honey bee colonies, suggesting resilience against these threats.
- Cepero's work further explores the implications of beekeeping management practices, including queen introductions, on the prevalence of pathogens, highlighting the need for a holistic understanding of factors leading to colony collapse in Spain.
