Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?

TL;DR: Current evidence suggests that insect and weed evolution may outstrip the authors' ability to replace outmoded chemicals and other control mechanisms, and it is necessary to address the mix of ecological, genetic, economic, and sociopolitical factors that prevent implementation of sustainable pest management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polygenic adaptation: a unifying framework to understand positive selection

TL;DR: This Perspective describes how polygenic adaptation can be studied using a framework of ‘adaptive architecture’ that unifies principles from the traditionally disparate fields of quantitative genetics and molecular population genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weeds for bees? A review

TL;DR: A conceptual framework allowing to define ecological engineering options based upon ecosystem services of weeds and pollinators is presented and it is shown that weed abundance can reduce crop yields, thus inducing conflict with farmers, but weed abundance enhances regulating services by ensuring the survival of honeybees in the absence of oil seed crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance to acetyl‐CoA carboxylase‐inhibiting herbicides

TL;DR: While the science of ACCase herbicide resistance has progressed significantly over the past 10 years, several avenues remain to be explored for a better understanding of resistance to this important mode of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

The future for weed control and technology.

TL;DR: This review is both a retrospective (what have the authors missed?) and prospective (where are they going?) examination of weed control and technology, particularly as it applies to herbicide-resistant weed management (RWM).

Evidence that adaptation in Drosophila is not limited by mutation at single sites.

TL;DR: This work investigates adaptation at a key insecticide resistance locus (Ace) in Drosophila melanogaster and shows that multiple simple and complex resistance alleles evolved quickly and repeatedly within individual populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population Extinction and the Genetics of Adaptation

TL;DR: This work derives simple, though approximate, solutions to the probability of successful adaptation (population survival) when adaptation involves new mutations, the standing genetic variation, or a mixture of the two.

Key role for a glutathione transferase in multiple-herbicide resistance in grass weeds

TL;DR: A central role for specific GSTFs in MHR in weeds that has parallels with similar roles for unrelated GSTs in MDR in humans and shows their potential as targets for chemical intervention in resistant weed management is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Costs of resistance

TL;DR: A study of the reduction of fitness in plants expressing resistance characteristics and the mechanisms through which different types of resistance strategies produce costs, especially those costs associated with inducible defenses.
