“…Anopheles albimanus data suggest that a single barrier exists within Central America, which may be the mountain range that crosses Costa Rica and Western Panama (Molina-Cruz et al, 2004). The phylogeographic break between Central American plus NW Colombia and South American A. darlingi is consistent with studies of other Neotropical taxa, such as Neotropical butterflies (Brower 1994), toads (Slade and Moritz, 1998), bats (Hoffmann and Baker, 2003) and trees (Dick et al, 2003). However, Manguin et al (1999) observed substantial gene flow among populations of A. darlingi throughout its geographic range using four nonmitochondrial markers (isozyme, RAPD-PCR, ITS2, and morphology).…”
