Chromosome evolution in bees by Robin E. Owen

“…The only andrenid bee karyotyped, Andrena togashii has the low n of 3, so we certainly need to know which other species in this family have low chromosome numbers to see if this is an exception and to further test the Minimum Interaction Theory (MIT) of Imai and colleagues which predicts the evolutionary increase in chromosome number. …”
