Fitness costs of resistance to insecticides in insects [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 The chemical application is considered one of the most crucial methods for controlling insect pests, especially in intensive farming practices. Owing to the chemical application, insect pests are exposed to toxic chemical insecticides along with other ...

Phytochemical Cue for the Fitness Costs of Herbicide-Resistant Weeds [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Despite increasing knowledge of the fitness costs of viability and fecundity involved in the herbicide-resistant weeds, relatively little is known about the linkage between herbicide resistance costs and phytochemical cues in weed species and biotypes ...

Fitness Costs in Diamondback Moth Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) Resistant to Lufenuron, A Chitin-Synthesis Inhibitor Insecticide [PDF]
InsectsThe diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, is the main pest of Brassicas crops worldwide, and its recorded resistance to 101 active ingredients indicates it is difficult to control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that P.

Symbiont-mediated feminization imposes unavoidable host fitness costs [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyMaternally inherited bacterial endosymbionts such as Wolbachia are common in arthropods. Some serve as reproductive manipulators, favoring the production of infected females in host populations despite possible fitness costs to the host.

Isolation of a Novel Lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phage Henu5 and Fitness Costs of Phage‐Driven Resistance [PDF]
Microbial BiotechnologyPhage therapy is increasingly recognised as a potential approach against antibiotic‐resistant infections. Analogous to the rise of antibiotic resistance, bacteria can also evolve phage resistance, a process that frequently entails fitness costs.

Consequences of Atlantification on a Zooplanktivorous Arctic Seabird
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Global warming, combined with an increasing influence of Atlantic Waters in the European Arctic, are causing a so-called Atlantification of the Arctic. This phenomenon is affecting the plankton biomass and communities with potential consequences for the ...

The layered costs and benefits of translational redundancy
eLife, 2023 The rate and accuracy of translation hinges upon multiple components – including transfer RNA (tRNA) pools, tRNA modifying enzymes, and rRNA molecules – many of which are redundant in terms of gene copy number or function.
