Enviromental conditions, including such important climatic variables as temperature and precipitation, change with altitude; thus, elevation plays a significant role in determining population and community structure in a variety of organisms. Using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and geometric morphometrics, nine populations of Culex theileri Theobald occurring in different ecological subregions at altitudes between 808-2,130 m in northeastern Turkey were compared. The wing size and shape data indicate that there are significant phenotypic differences among them, while Cx theileri populations are not genetically differentiated in the northeast part of Turkey. The size and shape variation analysis of wings showed that there is a positive correlation between wing (body) size/shape and altitude.
环境条件，包括温度和降水等重要气候变量，会随海拔高度而变化；因此，海拔高度在决定各种生物的种群和群落结构方面起着重要作用。利用单核苷酸多态性（SNP）和几何形态测量学，对土耳其东北部海拔808 - 2130米不同生态亚区域的九个泰勒库蚊种群进行了比较。翅的大小和形状数据表明，它们之间存在显著的表型差异，而泰勒库蚊种群在土耳其东北部没有遗传分化。翅的大小和形状变异分析表明，翅（身体）大小/形状与海拔高度之间存在正相关。
