Abstract

Malarial mosquitoes might appear to be poor model organisms for population genetics, not least because the majority of workers who study them are driven by a desire to do them irreparable harm. Nonetheless, advances in molecular genetics are fast making Anopheles mosquitoes into valuable systems for studies of speciation and of both man- and climate-mediated evolution (Stump et al, 2005). Lisa Mirabello and Jan Conn discuss how mitochondrial sequence data suggest patterns of climate-induced change in the abundance of the Latin American malaria vector Anopheles darlingi (Mirabello and Conn, 2006).
