Human impacts have shaped historical and recent evolution in Aedes aegypti, the dengue and yellow fever mosquito.

Abstract excerpt

Although anthropogenic impacts are often considered harmful to species, human modifications to the landscape can actually create novel niches to which other species can adapt. These "domestication" processes are especially important in the context of arthropod disease vectors, where ecological overlap of vector and human populations may lead to epidemics. Here, we present results of a global genetic study of one...
