Anopheles gambiae, the primary mosquito vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, is divided into 2 sympatric incipient species known asMform andSform. Recent genomic analysis of each form revealed that differentiation between forms is clustered into 3 unlinked regions of the genome. Here, we expand the investigation of these “genomic islands of speciation” to multiple populations, including all of the genes across one of the islands. Differentiation between theMandSforms in 2 of the islands is complete across all individuals in all populations, confirming that theMandSforms are reproductively isolated taxa. Differentiation at the third island (on chromosome 2R) is limited to Cameroon populations. There is reduced variation in theMform in Cameroon at this location and increased divergence to the outgroupAnopheles arabiensis, supporting an association of adaptation with reproductive isolation.
