Radiation with reticulation marks the origin of a major malaria vector

Abstract excerpt

Significance Introgressive hybridization is prevalent in recent and rapid animal radiations, and emerging evidence suggests that it leads to the sharing of genetic variation that can facilitate adaptation to new environments and generate novel phenotypes. Here we study a recent and rapid radiation of African mosquitoes in which only one species, An. funestus , is a primary human malaria vector with a...
