  abstract = {{B}ackground: {A}s {A}nopheles funestus is one of the principal {A}fro-tropical malaria vectors, a more complete understanding of its population structure is desirable. {I}n {W}est and {C}entral {A}frica, {A}n. funestus population structure is complicated by the coexistence of two assortatively mating chromosomal forms. {E}ffective population size ( {N}e) is a key parameter in understanding patterns and levels of intraspecific variation, as it reflects the role of genetic drift. {H}ere, {N}-e was estimated from both chromosomal forms, {K}iribina and {F}olonzo, in {B}urkina {F}aso. {M}ethods: {S}hort-term {N}-e was estimated by evaluating variation at 16 microsatellite loci across temporal samples collected annually from 2000 - 2002. {E}stimates were based on standardized variance in allele frequencies or a maximum likelihood method. {L}ong-term {N}-e was estimated from genetic diversity estimates using mt{DNA} sequences and microsatellites. {R}esults: {F}or both forms, short-term and long-term {N}-e estimates were on the order of 103 and 105, respectively. {L}ong-term {N}-e estimates were larger when based on loci from chromosome 3{R} ( both inside and outside of inversions) than loci outside of this arm. {C}onclusion: {N}-e values indicate that {A}n. funestus is not subject to seasonal bottlenecks. {T}hough not statistically different because of large and overlapping confidence intervals, short-term {N}-e estimates were consistently smaller for {K}iribina than {F}olonzo, possibly due to exploitation of different breeding sites: permanent for {F}olonzo and intermittent for {K}iribina. {T}he higher long-term {N}-e estimates on 3{R}, the arm carrying the two inversions mainly responsible for defining the chromosomal forms, give natural selection broader scope and merit further study.},
