Abstract: 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 and Chocó bio-geographical eco-regions and the relationship of these phenotypic traits with environmental factors were evaluated. Microsatellite and morphometric data facilitated a comparison of the genetic and phenetic structure of this species. Wing size was influenced by elevation and relative humidity, whereas wing shape was affect… Show more

“…and another among Nyssorhynchus species. The wing is typically used as a marker of microevolutionary processes (Dujardin, 2008;Gómez et al, 2014;Henry et al, 2010); within Anopheles, it also appears to be a good indicator of macroevolution. In this case, the landmark data revealed a phylogenetic signal in wing shape, according to the genetic topology found in our study.…”

“…Numerous studies have been conducted to describe the geometric differences between different populations in Iran (Khaghaninia et al 2008, Khiaban et al 2010, Lashkari et al 2013, Lashkari and Iranmanesh 2015, Mozaffarian et al 2005, 2007, Sadeghi et al 2009, Zahiri 2003). Moreover, several studies have been conducted for the discrimination of some related species (Aghagoli et al 2013, Gómez et al 2014, Mitrovski-Bogdanović et al 2014, Zarei et al 2013). …”
