蚊群是人们对交配聚集体知之甚少的。在疟疾媒介冈比亚按蚊中，已知它们依赖于环境条件，例如地面上标记的存在，并且它们可能与生殖隔离高度相关。我们提出了个体 An 的定量测量。通过立体视频图像分析估计冈比亚在来自马里多内盖布古的虫群中的位置。结果表明，该物种的群体近似球形，靠近群体质心的个体密度出乎意料地高。这种高密度可能是雄性个体最大化遇到雌性的可能性的结果，或者是蚊子通过群体内的线索定向的结果。我们的分析还表明，假定的 An 早期物种之间的群体组织存在差异。冈比亚的男性数量不断增加。这可能与这些群体之间标记使用的差异有关，支持这样的假设：蜂群行为是配偶识别和最终生殖隔离的机制。
Mosquito swarms are poorly understood mating aggregations. In the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae Giles, they are known to depend on environmental conditions, such as the presence of a marker on the ground, and they may be highly relevant to reproductive isolation. We present quantitative measurements of individual An. gambiae positions within swarms from Donéguébougou, Mali, estimated by stereoscopic video image analysis. Results indicate that swarms in this species are approximately spherical, with an unexpectedly high density of individuals close to the swarm centroid. This high density may be the result of individual males maximizing their probability of encountering a female or a product of mosquito orientation through cues within the swarm. Our analysis also suggests a difference in swarm organization between putative incipient species of An. gambiae with increasing numbers of males. This may be related to a difference in marker use between these groups, supporting the hypothesis that swarming behavior is a mechanism of mate recognition and ultimately reproductive isolation.
