  abstract = {{T}he {A}sian tiger mosquito, {A}edes albopictus, is one of the most invasive species in the world. {N}ative to the tropical forests of {S}outheast {A}sia, over the past 30 years it has rapidly spread throughout tropical and temperate regions of the world. {I}ts dramatic expansion has resulted in public health concerns as a consequence of its vector competence for at least 16 viruses. {P}revious studies showed that {A}e. albopictus spread has been facilitated by human-mediated transportation, but much remains unknown about how this has affected its genetic attributes. {H}ere we examined the factors that contributed to shaping the current genetic constitution of {A}e. albopictus in the {I}berian {P}eninsula, where the species was first found in 2004, by combining population genetics and {B}ayesian modelling. {W}e found that both mitochondrial and nuclear {DNA} markers showed a lack of genetic structure and the presence of worldwide dominant haplotypes, suggesting regular introductions from abroad. {M}itochondrial {DNA} showed little genetic diversity compared to nuclear {DNA}, likely explained by infection with maternally transmitted bacteria of the genus {W}olbachia. {M}ultilevel models revealed that greater mosquito fluxes (estimated from commuting patterns and tiger mosquito population distribution) and spatial proximity between sampling sites were associated with lower nuclear genetic distance, suggesting that rapid short- and medium-distance dispersal is facilitated by humans through vehicular traffic. {T}his study highlights the significant role of human transportation in shaping the genetic attributes of {A}e. albopictus and promoting regional gene flow, and underscores the need for a territorially integrated surveillance across scales of this disease-carrying mosquito.},
