[Interaction between three types of variation and fluctuating asymmetry in the population of malaria mosquito Anopheles messeae Fall].

In the population of the malaria mosquito Anopheles messeae, interrelations of three types of variation (polymorphism for inversions, dorsal color of abdomen and thorax, and number of dents in the crests of the stigmal plate) and fluctuating asymmetry were studied. The presence of white pigmentation on the larval dorsum did not correlate with inversion polymorphism and fluctuating asymmetry, but correlated with the number of small and large dents in the crests of stigmal plate. Asymmetry was shown to have a weak positive correlation with the number of dents. In larvae having a small number of dents, a decrease in the frequency of autosomal homozygotes 3R00 and an increase in the frequency of autosomal heterozygotes 3R01 were found. The dents in the crests of the stigmal plate had two morphological forms: a large one, which is associated with arms 2R and XL, and a small one, which is associated with arms 3R, XL, and 3L. Correlation between inversion polymorphism and bilateral (fluctuating) asymmetry was more complex. The group of individuals with a difference by one dense differed from that with a difference by three or more dents in the frequency of chromosome sequences XL0, XL1, and 2R0. Chromosome sequences XL1, 2R0, 3R0, and 3L1 were classified as those increasing the developmental stability of individuals; XL2, XL0, 2R1, 3R1, and 3L0, as those decreasing it.
