Commensalism, adaptation and gene flow: mosquitoes of the<i>Culex pipiens</i>complex in different habitats
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
Two ecotypes have been described for Culex pipiens mosquitoes of the temperate zone: a human commensal type and a feral type, but their degree of evolutionary differentiation and taxonomic status are still unclear. The commensal form is characterized by life-history traits probably adaptive to underground man-made environments. This situation has sometimes been considered as an example of recent speciation...
