Dataset of wing venation measurements for Apis mellifera caucasica , A. mellifera carnica and A. mellifera mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), their hybrids and backcrosses

Wing venation is used as a tool in honeybee ( L., 1758) subspecies identification. The presented dataset concerns nineteen landmarks located at honeybee worker's forewing vein junctions. Landmarks of Pollmann, 1889, Pollmann, 1879 and Linnaeus, 1758, their hybrids and backcrosses were measured....

Summary:Wing venation is used as a tool in honeybee ( L., 1758) subspecies identification. The presented dataset concerns nineteen landmarks located at honeybee worker's forewing vein junctions. Landmarks of Pollmann, 1889, Pollmann, 1879 and Linnaeus, 1758, their hybrids and backcrosses were measured. In total, data from 9590 wings were collected. The dataset could be used in geometric morphometric analysis, studies of degree of inheritance of morphological features and, after further development and supplementation with other local subspecies and hybrids, can contribute to in-depth evolutionary research on honeybees. Baseline dataset for wing venation of hybrids and backcrosses of and .
