  abstract = {{A}nopheles funestus is a major vector of malaria across {A}frica. {U}nderstanding its complex and non-equilibrium population genetic structure is an important challenge that must be overcome before vector populations can be successfully perturbed for malaria control. {H}ere we examine the role of chromosomal inversions in structuring genetic variation and facilitating divergence in {B}urkina {F}aso, {W}est {A}frica, where two incipient species (chromosomal forms) of {A}. funestus, defined principally by rearrangements of chromosome 3{R}, have been hypothesized. {S}ampling across an similar to 300-km east-west transect largely contained within the {S}udan-{S}avanna ecoclimatic zone, we analyzed chromosomal inversions, 16 microsatellite loci distributed genomewide, and 834 bp of the mt{DNA} {ND}5 gene. {B}oth molecular markers revealed high genetic diversity, nearly all of which was accounted for by within-population differences among individuals, owing to recent population expansion. {A}cross the study area there was no correlation between genetic and geographic distance. {S}ignificant genetic differentiation found between chromosomal forms on the basis of microsatellites was not genomewide but could be explained by chromosome 3{R} alone on the basis of loci inside and near inversions. {T}hese data are not compatible with complete reproductive isolation but are consistent with differential introgression and sympatric divergence between the chromosomal forms, facilitated by chromosome 3{R} inversions.},
