Pleiotropy of adaptive changes in populations: comparisons among insecticide resistance genes in Culex pipiens

C Chevillon, D Bourguet, F RoUssET, N Pasteur… - Genetics …, 1997 - cambridge.org
Resistance to toxicants is a convenient model for investigating whether adaptive changes
are associated with pleiotropic fitness costs. Despite the voluminous literature devoted to
this subject, intraspecific comparisons among toxicant resistance genes are rare. We report
here results on the pleiotropic effect on adult survival of Culex pipiens mutants involved in
the same adaptation: the resistance to organophosphorus insecticides. This field study was
performed in southern France where four resistance genes sequentially appeared and …
