Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of Anopheles gambiae, the principal mosquito vector of malaria in Africa, suggested that the eastern Rift Valley and its surrounding areas act as a barrier to gene flow. To quantify the unique effect of these areas on gene flow, we measured genetic variation within and between populations from each side of the Rift. Low differentiation was measured between populations on each side of the Rift (mean...
