CHAPTER 5 / The Theory of Natural Selection 135
There are a number of textbooks about population genetics. Crow (1986), Gillespie
(1998), Hartl (2000), and Maynard Smith (1998) are relatively introductory. More
comprehensive works include Hartl & Clark (1997) and Hedrick (2000). Crow &
Kimura (1970) is a classic account of the mathematical theory. Dobzhansky (1970) is
a standard study; Lewontin et al. (1981) contains Dobzhansky’s most famous series
of papers. Bell (1997a, 1997b) provides a comprehensive and a synoptic guide to
selection.
For the peppered moth, Majerus (1998) is a modern, and Kettlewell (1973) a classic,
account. Majerus (2002) is a more popular book, and contains a chapter on melanism.
Grant (1999) is a review of Majerus (1998) and is also a good minireview of the topic in
itself. Grant & Wiseman (2002) discuss the parallel rise and fall of the melanic form of
the peppered moth in North America.
On pests and pesticides, see McKenzie (1996) and McKenzie & Batterham (1994).
Lenormand et al. (1999) add further themes and molecular techniques, demonstrating
seasonal cycles. The special issue of Science (4 October 2002, pp. 79–183) on the
Anopheles genome has much background material on insecticide resistance and the
various kinds of mosquito. See also Box 8.1 and Section 10.10, and their further reading
lists.
See Endler (1986) on measuring fitness in general; Primack & Kang (1989) for
plants; and Clutton-Brock (1988) for research on lifetime fitness.
The various selective means of maintaining polymorphisms are explained in the
general texts. In addition, see Lederburg (1999) on the classic Haldane (1949a) paper
and what it says about heterozygous advantage and sickle cell anemia. A recent possible
example of heterozygote advantage in human HLA genes, providing resistance to
HIV-1, is described by Carrington et al. (1999). Hori (1993) described a marvellous
example of frequency dependence in the mouth-handedness of scale-eating cichlid fish.
Another example is given by Gigord et al. (2001): the habits of naive bumblebees lead to
a color polymorphism in an orchid.
