Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent genomic
analyses are showing this in many insects and vertebrates, as well as in microbes and …

Gene flow is a fundamental evolutionary force in adaptation that is especially important to
understand as humans are rapidly changing both the natural environment and natural levels …

The sustainability of malaria control in Africa is threatened by the rise of insecticide
resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit the disease 1. To gain a deeper …

Gene drives are a promising means of malaria control with the potential to cause sustained
reductions in transmission. In real environments, however, their impacts will depend on local …

Animal species adapt to changes in their environment, including man-made changes such
as the introduction of insecticides, through selection for advantageous genes already …

Understanding the molecular basis of repeatedly evolved phenotypes can yield key insights
into the evolutionary process. Quantifying gene flow between populations is especially …

Genomic comparisons of closely related species have identified “islands” of locally elevated
sequence divergence. Genomic islands may contain functional variants involved in local …

Many researchers have questioned the ability of biota to adapt to rapid anthropogenic
environmental shifts. Here, we synthesize emerging genomic evidence for rapid insect …

Since the implementation of Roll Back Malaria, the widespread use of insecticide-treated
nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) is thought to have played a major part in the …

Background Anopheles vectors of malaria are supposedly less common in urban areas as a
result of pollution, but there is increasing evidence of their adaptation to organically polluted …
