Journal ArticleDOI

Crop Domestication and Its Impact on Naturally Selected Trophic Interactions

TL;DR: More studies are needed to understand how changes in morphology and resistance-related traits arising from domestication may interact with environmental variation to affect species interactions across multiple scales in agroecosystems and natural ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model species for agricultural pest genomics: The genome of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Sean D. Schoville, +64 more
- 31 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Surprisingly, the suite of genes involved in insecticide resistance is similar to other beetles, and duplications in the RNAi pathway might explain why Leptinotarsa decemlineata has high sensitivity to dsRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Content Evolution in the Arthropods

Gregg W.C. Thomas, +88 more
- 23 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: These analyses demonstrate how large-scale comparative genomics can provide broad new insights into the genotype to phenotype map and generate testable hypotheses about the evolution of animal diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are bottlenecks associated with colonization? Genetic diversity and diapause variation of native and introduced Rhagoletis completa populations.

TL;DR: The authors' results indicate that multiple introductions and a “general-purpose genotype” appear to have facilitated the walnut husk fly’s invasion into California, and genetic diversity was not associated with diapause variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transgenerational effects of insecticides-implications for rapid pest evolution in agroecosystems.

TL;DR: Evidence supporting how pesticides may drive the evolution of resistance via epigenetic processes is discussed, which suggests insect pests primed by pesticides may be more tolerant of other stress, further enhancing their success in adapting to agroecosystems.
