Cryptic species diversity in a widespread bumble bee complex revealed using mitochondrial DNA RFLPs (2008, methodology): “Our RFLP approach to discrimination among the lucorum complex and B. terrestris, when combined with DNA extraction from tarsal samples (Holehouse et al. 2003) that removes the necessity for selectively or destructively sampling adults to confirm taxonomic identity, provides a powerful tool to…”
Adaptation, Genetic Drift, Pleiotropy, and History in the Evolution of Bee Foraging Behavior (2006, background): “This opens up the possibility to study the adaptive benefits of these traits in the wild, especially since nonlethal DNA sampling techniques have been refined for bees (Châline et al., 2004; Holehouse et al., 2003).”
