Population genomics of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in Anopheles funestus reveals rapid evolution of the α9 and β2 subunits within a constrained gene family

Desiree E Rios, Caroline Fouet, Colince Kamdem

The paper analyzes amino acid substitutions in nAChR subunits of Anopheles funestus to identify rapid evolution in α9 and β2 subunits under insecticide selection pressure.

Behavioral divergence between a generalist and a specialist mosquito despite minimal differentiation across chemosensory receptor gene families

Marilene M. Ambadiang, Caroline Fouet, Fred A. Ashu…·Colince Kamdem

The paper compares oviposition behavior between two mosquito species and identifies chemosensory receptor gene differences that may explain their distinct strategies.

Standing genetic variation underlies divergence of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits among cryptic species of the Anopheles gambiae complex

Caroline Fouet, Desiree E Rios, Fred A. Ashu…·Colince Kamdem

The paper analyzes genetic variation in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits across six cryptic Anopheles gambiae species to understand how pre-existing polymorphism influences insecticide susceptibility.
