Article Synopsis
- Pesticide resistance in arthropods is a form of rapid evolution largely driven by strong selection pressures from pesticide applications.
- Some species show a greater tendency to develop resistance due to their evolutionary traits and genetic diversity, particularly generalist species that can adapt to various plants.
- There is a need for more research into the ecological factors that promote this resistance and its impact on plant-arthropod relationships, as current studies often focus more on molecular mechanisms rather than ecological contexts.
The association between indirect environmental cues that modulate insect diapause and the actual stressors is by no means granted when a species encounters new environments. The box tree moth, , is an Asian pest whose rapid invasion in Europe causes considerable economic and ecological impacts. Larvae enter a winter diapause induced by the photoperiod in both native and invaded ranges, but factors that trigger the return to an active phase are still unknown.
