Transcriptomic differences between euryhaline and stenohaline malaria vector sibling species in response to salinity stress [set1]


ABSTRACT: We use RNA-Seq to investigate gene expression differences in response to saltwater exposure by the larval stages of the obligate freshwater mosquito Anopheles coluzzii (formerly An. gambiae "M" form), and the euryhaline An. merus. After rearing in freshwater, both young and old larval instars of each species were briefly (6 h) exposed to either saltwater (SW) or freshwater (FW) conditions to test the impact of salinity on mRNA levels.

ORGANISM(S): Anopheles merus

Evolution of osmoregulatory systems is a key factor in the transition of species between fresh- and saltwater habitats. Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles merus are stenohaline and euryhaline malaria vector mosquitoes belonging to a larger group of sibling species, the Anopheles gambiae complex, which radiated in Africa within the last 2 million years. Comparative ecological genomics of these vector species can provide insight into the mechanisms that permitted the rapid radiation of this species  ...[more]
