Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2005
Labbe P, Lenormand T, Raymond M
Abstract excerpt
Adaptation occurs by gene replacement (or transient balanced polymorphism). Replacement may be caused by selection (local or global) and/or genetic drift among alleles. In addition, historical events may blur the respective effects of selection and drift during the course of replacement. We address the relative importance of these processes in the evolution of insecticide resistance genes in the mosquito Culex...
