Host species and geography impact bee-associated RNA virus communities with evidence for isolation-by-distance in viral populations

Chris R. P. Robinson, Adam G. Dolezal, Irene L. G. Newton

The paper examines RNA virus communities in wild and managed bees, finding specific virus associations with host species and evidence of isolation-by-distance in viral populations.
