  abstract = {{T}he primary {A}frotropical malaria mosquito vector {A}nopheles gambiae sensu stricto has a complex population structure. {I}n west {A}frica, this species is split into two molecular forms and displays local and regional variation in chromosomal arrangements and behaviors. {T}o investigate patterns of macrogeographic population substructure, 25 {A}n. gambiae samples from 12 {A}frican countries were genotyped at 13 microsatellite loci. {T}his analysis detected the presence of additional population structuring, with the {M}-form being subdivided into distinct west, central, and southern {A}frican genetic clusters. {T}hese clusters are coincident with the central {A}frican rainforest belt and northern and southern savannah biomes, which suggests restrictions to gene flow associated with the transition between these biomes. {B}y contrast, geographically patterned population substructure appears much weaker within the {S}-form.},
