Fine-scale landscape genomics show asymmetric patterns of gene flow for the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus

Mosquito-borne viruses like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya pose increasing health risks in the United States due to the expanding range of Aedes albopictus, a highly invasive mosquito species that now has a global distribution. Aedes albopictus thrive in artificial containers associated with anthropogenic land use, allowing populations to reach high numbers in urban and suburban environments. While the global spread of Ae.
