- Abstract
Shows that resistance alleles can be used as markers to dissect population processes at a microevolutionary scale. Focus on the antagonistic roles of selection and migration involved in the dynamics of local adaptation with reference to allelic frequencies at two resistance loci in the mosquito Culex pipiens; finding that their frequencies follow an annual cycle of large amplitude; Results providing a basis on which to devise an insecticide treatment strategy that will better control the evolution of resistance genes.
