Population Genomics Reveals Genetic Diversity, Introgression, and Genetic Differentiation in Tianshan Mountains Western Honeybees ( <scp> <i>Apis mellifera</i> </scp> )
represents an introduced population that has undergone regional adaptation, facilitated by the introgression of potentially adaptive alleles from native taxa. This case underscores the need for conservation strategies balancing management of economically valuable populations with protection of native lineages from genetic swamping and ecological competition.
