  abstract = {{V}ariation at nine microsatellite loci was investigated to understand how #{A}nopheles arabiensis$ populations survive the dry season in the sahelian region of {S}enegal. {L}ow estimates of genetic differentiation ({FST} equal to 0.012, {RST} equal to 0.009) between two populations, 250km apart, suggested extensive gene flow across this distance. {D}espite extreme seasonal fluctuation in abundance with dry season minima in which mosquitoes virtually disappeared, allele frequencies remained stable over time in the village of {B}arkedji from {A}ugust 1994 to {D}ecember 1997 (including four rainy seasons and three dry seasons). {T}he effective population size ({N}e) was estimated to be 601 with 95% {CI} (281,1592), providing strong evidence against annual bottlenecks. {D}ifferences in measures of genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium between the dry and the rainy seasons were not detected. {T}hese results suggest that despite extreme minima in local density, #{A}n. arabiensis$ maintains large permanent deme spread out over large area.
