Figure 1.

Mosquito composition at altitude (40–290 m above ground) in the Mali Sahel (2013–2015) by genera (color) for species represented by two or more specimens in the collection (text). The number of specimens identified using mtCOI DNA barcode similarity is shown above bars (note: logarithmic scale of the Y-axis). The fraction of species found at altitude per genus from the corresponding total known in Mali (see text) are given for each genus above bars and tested against the overall fraction of 28.3% (30/106) using a binomial test (ns and * denote P > 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively). The pie chart shows composition of specimens by genera including specimens that were identified by molecular methods (see text).
