Soft selective sweeps predominate in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti

|
By Remi Ketchum, Daniel R. Matute, Daniel R. Schrider
| biorxiv.org
Abstract The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector for human arboviruses and zoonotic diseases and therefore poses a serious threat to public health. Understanding how Ae. aegypti adapts to environmental pressures, such as insecticides, is critical for developing effective mitigation strategies. However, most traditional methods for detecting recent positive selection search for signatures of classic hard selective sweeps, and to date no studies have examined soft sweeps in Ae. aegypti.

Abstract The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector for human arboviruses and zoonotic diseases, such as yellow fever, dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, and as such poses a serious threat to public health. Understanding how Ae. aegypti adapts to environmental pressures, such as insecticides, is critical for developing effective mitigation strategies.

Secondary Sympatry as a Sorting Process

|
By Sean Anderson, Daniel R. Matute
| Wiley Online Library Verified
1 Introduction Few patterns in nature have more stubbornly defied easy explanation than that of exaggerated divergence in the ecological or reproductive traits of closely related species in sympatry. Reports of the pattern are numerous and come in at least three versions. In the first, canonically described by Lack (1947) in Galapagos finches, allopatric populations of two species exhibit highly similar traits while sympatric populations show marked differences (Brown and Wilson 1956).
