Speciation Within Anopheles gambiae-- the Glass Is Half Full
A. della Torre,1*C. Costantini,1*N. J. Besansky,3A. Caccone,4V. Petrarca,2J. R. Powell,4M. Coluzzi1
Restrictions to gene flow among molecular forms of
the mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto reveal an
ongoing speciationprocess affecting the epidemiology of malaria in
sub-Saharan Africa.
