Abstract excerpt
The origins of extant Glossina pallidipes Austen (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in the ecologically well-studied Lambwe and Nguruman valleys in Kenya are controversial because populations have recovered after seemingly effective attempts to achieve high levels of control. The microgeographical breeding structure of the tsetse fly, G. pallidipes, was investigated by analysing spatial and temporal variation at...
