Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Osama Migdadi"
- Osama Migdadi's research primarily focuses on the conservation and genetic evaluation of the native honeybee subspecies, Apis mellifera syriaca, in the Levant region, particularly Jordan.
- In his 2016 article published in the journal Genetica, Migdadi employed comparative genome hybridization to explore the genetic adaptations of these honeybees to their challenging environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and nectar scarcity.
- The findings highlight the unique behavioral adaptations and resistance of Apis mellifera syriaca to threats like the Oriental wasp and Varroa mites, emphasizing the importance of conserving this subspecies for ecological balance and agricultural sustainability in the region.
