  abstract = {{T}he insertion polymorphism of five transposable element ({TE}) families was studied by {S}outhern blots in several populations of the {M} and {S} molecular forms of the mosquito {A}nopheles gambiae sensu stricto from southern {C}ameroon. {W}e showed that the mean {TE} insertion site number and the within-population insertion site polymorphism globally differed between the {M} and {S} molecular forms. {T}he comparison of the {TE} insertion profiles of the populations revealed a significant differentiation between these two molecular forms (0.163 < {P}hi({ST}) < 0.371). {W}e cloned several insertions of a non-{LTR} retrotransposon ({A}ara8) that were fixed in one form and absent in the other one. {T}he only insertion that could be clearly located on a chromosome arm mapped to cytological division 6 of chromosome {X}, confirming the importance of this region in the ongoing speciation between the {M} and {S} molecular forms.},
