Genetic variation of tree-canopy and ground-level Anopheles cruzii populations using principal component analysis. (a) Hypothesis 1: comparison of tree-canopy (70) and ground-level (75) Anopheles cruzii populations from all areas. (b) Hypothesis 2: comparison of Anopheles cruzii populations from tree canopy and ground level separated by area classified according to the degree of anthropogenic modification (natural: 30/30, suburban/rural: 22/30 and urban: 18/15). Data were transformed using PCA and plotted as a function of the first two principal components. In parenthesis: number of specimens used in the analyses.
