'''Thierry Lodé''' is a French biologist, born in [[Tarbes]] in 1956. He is a professor of [[evolutionary ecology]] in the [[CNRS]] Units ETHOS (Ethology, Evolution, Ecology, [[University of Rennes 1]], France). As vice president of council for natural and [[biodiversity]] preservation, Lodé contributes in [[conservation biology]], chiefly carnivores ([[otter]]s, [[European polecat|polecat]], [[mink]]) and aquatic fauna ([[beaver]], [[amphibians]]).

Of his work, he said, "No norms, no exclusive behaviors exist in natural sexuality but variations of sexual behaviors, from homosexuality to [[polygyny]]". Resulting in an [[antagonistic co-evolution]], the sexual conflict leads to [[speciation]] i.e., the development of new species.

Thierry Lodé analysed the beauty as a result of the [[supra-normal stimulus]] in [[evolution]] and built a theory including bilateral symmetry and supra-normal stimulus from the concept developed by [[Konrad Lorenz|Lorenz]]. Lodé said that bilateral [[symmetry]] is an essential characters in life. Most animals prefer to mate with sexual partners exhibiting symmetric pattern. Actually, symmetric traits are largely altered by growth and health, and asymmetry often reveals genetic problem or [[immune system]] (MHC) deficiencies.

Besides, the [[French kiss]] consists in a [[saliva]] exchange resulting from the exploration of the sexual partner's [[immune response]]s ([[MHC]]{{dn|date=January 2014}}). He stresses that the divergences which occur resulting from the conflict could lead to [[sympatric speciation]]. Arguing that evolution is a historic process for [[adaptation]], he opposes [[creationism]], including [[intelligent design]]. Finally, analyzing numerous animal strategies, Thierry Lodé denies some major genetic explications in [[sociobiology]] and [[behavioral ecology]], especially regarding [[kin selection]], homosexuality and [[sympatric speciation]].

Thierry Lodé proposed that the [[sexual conflict]], as a new paradigm in evolutionary biology, provides valuable information that refutes most of common places arguments for theories of preference in sexual selection.

Rather than providing reproductive advantages, Thierry Lodé in his [[Origin of sex|libertine bubble theory]] proposes a new hypothesis:<ref>Thierry Lodé 2011 Sex is not a good solution for reproduction; the libertine bubble theory. Bioesay 33: 419–422</ref> sex originated from an archaic gene transfer process among prebiotic bubbles without the prerequisite for reproduction. This de-coupling from reproduction might make the thorny problem of accounting for the evolution of sex, despite the apparent advantages of parthenogenicity, more tractable.

==Social engagement==

Thierry Lodé is a nonconformist biologist, engaged in social struggles and extolling a [[Libertarianism|libertarian]] biology. Thierry Lodé championed also several human rights causes, especially as an anarchist, prison abolition. He developed activities for the liberty of the [[contraception]], asserting that he is [[Criticism of marriage|against the institution of marriage]], for the equality between sexes and for a sexuality stamping contemporary taboos. He supported [[José Bové]] to the last French presidential elections and collaborates to the monthly [[Le Monde libertaire]] and to the anarchist newspaper l'Endehors.
