Deadly pathogens and parasites are transmitted by vectors and the mosquito is considered
the most threatening vector in public health, transmitting these pathogens to humans and …

Establishing the genetic and molecular basis underlying adaptive traits is one of the major
goals of evolutionary geneticists in order to understand the connection between genotype …

We carried out a simulation study to compare the efficiency of three alternative programs
(dfdist, detseld and bayescan) to detect loci under directional selection from genome‐wide …

The discipline of molecular ecology has undergone enormous changes since the journal
bearing its name was launched approximately two decades ago. The field has seen great …

The Lolium genus encompasses many species that colonize a variety of disturbed and non-
disturbed environments. Lolium perenne L. spp. perenne, L. perenne L. spp. multiflorum …

BACKGROUND: The simultaneous production of six different toxins by Bacillus thuringiensis
israelensis (Bti) is thought to delay the evolution of resistance in treated mosquito …

Natural selection drives local adaptation, potentially even at small temporal and spatial
scales. As a result, adaptive genetic and phenotypic divergence can occur among …

Sustainable insect vector disease control strategies involve delaying the evolution of
resistance to insecticides in natural populations. The evolutionary dynamics of resistance in …

Divergent selection is the main driving force in sympatric ecological speciation and may also
play a strong role in divergence between allopatric populations. Characterizing the genome …

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) is increasingly used worldwide for mosquito
control and is the only larvicide used in the French Rhône-Alpes region since decades. The …
