Abstract excerpt
Gene flow between populations of Culex pipiens L. is relevant to observed differences in disease transmission, insecticide resistance, behavior, and physiology. Intracellular Wolbachia bacteria have been hypothesized to affect gene flow in insects. Specifically, Wolbachia cause a form of embryonic mortality known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in crosses between individuals with different Wolbachia types....
