A simulation study of a honeybee breeding scheme accounting for polyandry, direct and maternal effects on colony performance
Abstract Background Efficient breeding programs are difficult to implement in honeybees due to their biological specificities (polyandry and haplo-diploidy) and complexity of the traits of interest, with performances being measured at the colony scale and resulting from the joint effects of tens of...
