Chromosomal inversions, natural selection and adaptation in the malaria vector Anopheles funestus.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2011

Ayala Diego, Fontaine Michael C, Cohuet Anna, Fontenille Didier, Vitalis Renaud, Simard Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

Chromosomal polymorphisms, such as inversions, are presumably involved in the rapid adaptation of populations to local environmental conditions. Reduced recombination between alternative arrangements in heterozygotes may protect sets of locally adapted genes, promoting ecological divergence and p...
