  • Title: Multiple-technique identification of sibling species of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus complex.
    Author: Narang SK, Seawright JA, Mitchell SE, Kaiser PE, Carlson DA.
    Journal: J Am Mosq Control Assoc; 1993 Dec; 9(4):463-4. PubMed ID: 8126484.
    Abstract:
    In the past, most researchers used a single technique for identification of cryptic taxa, population structures, biosystematics, and phylogenetic studies. Our experience with the Anopheles quadrimaculatus complex shows the importance of using several methods on individual mosquitoes. This approach consists of analysis of the polytene chromosomes in ovarian nurse cells, gas chromatographic profiles of cuticular hydrocarbons, isozyme electrophoresis, and restriction site analysis of mitochondrial or genomic DNA. We recommend use of this multiple-technique approach when analyzing feral populations for the first time, or for correlating information obtained by investigators using different techniques.
