Figure 2. Population differentiation among A. gambiae collections at the APL1 locus as estimated by K_ST*.

Statistical significance determined by permutation of alleles among subpopulation pairs [48]. Mosquitoes sampled during the 2005 rainy season from the humid Toumani-Oulena (TM) and Makouchetoum (MK) regions are undifferentiated. These populations are mildly differentiated from a collection drawn from Bancoumana in the 2005 rainy season (BC rainy). All collections are highly differentiated from a collection drawn from Bancoumana in the 2003 dry season (BC dry). The analysis presented in this figure pools all mosquitoes by site and date of collection and does not take into account 2La karyotype or M/S molecular form.
