Abstract
None:
Tennessen et al.'s study addresses longstanding knowledge gaps regarding the evolutionary drivers of a major Neotropical malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi. Through extensive whole-genome analysis, they revealed geographically structured An. darlingi populations with no evidence of sympatric species and strong signals of widespread insecticide resistance through convergent evolution.
