Geographic population structure of the <scp>A</scp>frican malaria vector <i><scp>A</scp>nopheles gambiae</i> suggests a role for the forest‐savannah biome transition as a barrier to gene flow

Abstract excerpt

The primary Afrotropical malaria mosquito vector Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto has a complex population structure. In west Africa, this species is split into two molecular forms and displays local and regional variation in chromosomal arrangements and behaviors. To investigate patterns of macrogeographic population substructure, 25 An. gambiae samples from 12 African countries were genotyped at 13...
