• Multiple nuptial flights, sperm transfer and the evolution of extreme polyandry in honeybee queens (2005, unknown): “This threshold is likely to be subject to the local environmental conditions, such as drone density and weather (Alber et al. 1955; Neumann et al. 1999a, b; Kraus et al. 2004).”
• The size of wild honeybee populations (Apis mellifera) and its implications for the conservation of honeybees (2007, unknown): “Samples of worker brood can be taken from the colonies and the genotypes of siring drones can be inferred from the queen's female offspring (Estoup et al. 1994; Neumann et al. 1999; Kraus et al. 2003, 2004).”
