Complex genome evolution in Anopheles coluzzii associated with increased insecticide usage in Mali. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In certain cases, a species may have access to important genetic variation present in a related species via adaptive introgression. These novel alleles may interact with their new genetic background, resulting in unexpected phenotypes.
