Selection tends to cause specific changes in the patterns of variation among selected loci and in neutral loci linked to them. These genomic footprints left by selection are known as selection signatures and can be used to identify loci subjected to selection. (Kreitman M. Methods to detect selection in populations with applications to the human. Annu Rev Genomics Hum Genet. 2000;01:539–559.)

Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides whose chemical structures are adapted from the chemical structures of the pyrethrins and act in a similar manner to pyrethrins. Pyrethroids are modified to increase their stability in sunlight (https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/pyrethrins-and-pyrethroids)
