Spatial eco-climatic gradients drive adaptive 2La chromosomal inversion polymorphism in Anopheles coluzzii, a major malaria vector in Nigeria
Abstract Background Chromosomal inversions are important genetic mechanisms that facilitate local adaptation, ecological flexibility, and behavioural variation in mosquito populations. In Anopheles coluzzii, a dominant malaria vector in West Africa, the 2La inversion has been associated with…

Spatial non-stationarity in son preference: a district-level geographically weighted regression analysis of NFHS-5 in India
Abstract Background Son preference remains a key driver of gender inequality in India, yet most studies treat its determinants as uniform across space, obscuring critical subnational variation. Addressing this gap, this study investigates the geographic heterogeneity of son preference and examines…
