Local population genetic structure of Andrena flavipes (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae), a nest-philopatric communal mining bee, reveals isolation-by-distance and high inbreeding

Wild bee populations are declining globally and understanding how species-intrinsic traits like nest-philopatry shape local population genetic structure is increasingly important for their conservation. However, few studies have explored this at local spatial scales. To fill this gap, we used SNPs in the nuclear vitell...
