Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …

The study of speciation is concerned with understanding the connection between causes of
divergent evolution and the origin and maintenance of barriers to gene exchange between …

Chromosome inversions have long been thought to be involved in speciation and local
adaptation. We have little quantitative information, however, about the effects that inversion …

Anopheles albimanus is a major malaria mosquito vector in Colombia. In the present study,
wing variability (size and shape) in An. albimanus populations from Colombian Maracaibo …

Accurate species identification is the prerequisite to assess the relevance of mosquito
specimens, but is often hindered by missing or damaged morphological features. The …

Accurate species identification is crucial to assess the medical relevance of a mosquito
specimen, but requires intensive experience of the observers and well-equipped …

Background The human landing catch (HLC) is the gold standard method for sampling host-
seeking malaria vectors. However, the HLC is ethically questionable because it requires …

Anopheles gambiae M and S are thought to be undergoing ecological speciation by
adapting to different larval habitats. Toward an improved understanding of the genetic …

Before the release of genetically-modified or sterile male mosquitoes in an attempt to control
local populations of malaria vectors, it is crucial to determine male traits involved in mating …

Background Most of the current biophysical models designed to address the large-scale
distribution of malaria assume that transmission of the disease is independent of the vector …
