Abstract excerpt
Variation in the length and copy number of intergenic spacers (IGS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were examined to test for genetic differentiation among Anopheles albimanus populations. Extensive collections were made in Guatemala but populations were also sampled over a large range of its distribution in Central and South America. Discriminant analysis of IGS patterns in individual mosquitoes indicated that...
