Perfect Association Between Spatial Swarm Segregation and The X-Chromosome Speciation Island in Hybridizing Anopheles Coluzzii and Anopheles Gambiae Populations

Abstract: The sibling species An. coluzzii and An. gambiae s.s. are major malaria vectors thought to be undergoing sympatric speciation with gene flow. In the absence of intrinsic post-zygotic isolation between the two taxa, speciation is thought possible through the association of assortative mating and genomic regions protected from gene flow by recombination suppression. Such genomic islands of speciation have been described in pericentromeric regions of the X, 2L and 3L chromosomes. Spatial swarm segregation plays a… Show more
