Dominance is a basic property of inheritance systems describing the link between a diploid
genotype at a single locus and the resulting phenotype. Models for the evolution of …

Why do some biological systems and communities persist while others fail? Robustness, a
system's stability, and resilience, the ability to return to a stable state, are key concepts that …

Spider mites of the genus Tetranychidae are severe crop pests. In the Mediterranean a few
species coexist, but they are difficult to identify based on morphological characters …

Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of pesticide resistance at the landscape scale
is essential to anticipate the evolution and spread of new resistance phenotypes. In crop …

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common primary glomerular disease (PGD) in
the world. Currently, MN still lacks specific diagnostic markers and effective treatment …

Anopheles gambiae sl. has been the target of intense insecticide treatment since the mid-
20th century to try and control malaria. A substitution in the ace-1 locus has been rapidly …

Multigene families—immunity genes or sensory receptors, for instance—are often subject to
diversifying selection. Allelic diversity may be favored not only through balancing or …

While gene copy‐number variations play major roles in long‐term evolution, their early
dynamics remains largely unknown. However, examples of their role in short‐term …

Genetic models of adaptation to a new environment have typically assumed that the alleles
involved maintain a constant fitness dominance across the old and new environments …

Organophosphate and carbamate insecticides have largely been used worldwide to control
mosquito populations. As a response, the same amino acid substitution in the ace-1 gene …
