Forty Years of Erratic Insecticide Resistance Evolution in the Mosquito Culex pipiens (2007)
Pierrick Labbé, Claire Berticat, Arnaud Berthomieu, Sandra Unal, Clothilde Bernard, Mylène Weill, ...
One view of adaptation is that it proceeds by the slow and steady accumulation of beneficial mutations with small effects. It is difficult to test this model, since in most cases the genetic basis of...

Recombination Difference between Sexes: A Role for Haploid Selection (2005)
Thomas Lenormand, Julien Dutheil
Measuring the opportunity for natural selection on gametes provides the first empirical evidence for a theory explaining why recombination at meiosis varies between males and females.
Recombination Difference between Sexes: A Role for Haploid Selection (2005)
Thomas Lenormand, Julien Dutheil
Why the autosomal recombination rate differs between female and male meiosis in most species has been a genetic enigma since the early study of meiosis. Some hypotheses have been put forward to...
EVOLUTION OF MIGRATION UNDER KIN SELECTION AND LOCAL ADAPTATION (2005)
Sylvain Billiard, Thomas Lenormand
We present here a stochastic two-locus, two-habitat model for the evolution of migration with local adaptation and kin selection. One locus determines the migration rate while the other causes local...
Recombination Difference between Sexes: A Role for Haploid Selection
Lenormand, Thomas, Dutheil, Julien
Why the autosomal recombination rate differs between female and male meiosis in most species has been a genetic enigma since the early study of meiosis. Some hypotheses have been put forward to...
Self-Fertilization and the Evolution of Recombination
Roze, Denis, Lenormand, Thomas
In this article, we study the effect of self-fertilization on the evolution of a modifier allele that alters the recombination rate between two selected loci. We consider two different life cycles:...
Selection for Recombination in Structured Populations
Martin, Guillaume, Otto, Sarah P., Lenormand, Thomas
In finite populations, linkage disequilibria generated by the interaction of drift and directional selection (Hill-Robertson effect) can select for sex and recombination, even in the absence of...
The evolution of sex dimorphism in recombination.
Sex dimorphism in recombination is widespread on both sex chromosomes and autosomes. Various hypotheses have been proposed to explain these dimorphisms. Yet no theoretical model has been explored to...
