Pesticide resistance in arthropods: Ecology matters too [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2022 Pesticide resistance development is an example of rapid contemporary evolution that poses immense challenges for agriculture. It typically evolves due to the strong directional selection that pesticide treatments exert on herbivorous arthropods. However,

The Evolution and Ecology of Resistance in Cancer Therapy [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2020 Despite the continuous deployment of new treatment strategies and agents over many decades, most disseminated cancers remain fatal. Cancer cells, through their access to the vast information of the human genome, have a remarkable capacity to deploy ...

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Cydia pomonella provides insights into chemical ecology and insecticide resistance [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The codling moth Cydia pomonella, a major invasive pest of pome fruit, has spread around the globe in the last half century. We generated a chromosome-level scaffold assembly including the Z chromosome and a portion of the W chromosome.

Riverine macrosystems ecology: sensitivity, resistance, and resilience of whole river basins with human alterations [PDF]
, 2014 Riverine macrosystems are described here as watershed-scale networks of connected and interacting riverine and upland habitat patches. Such systems are driven by variable responses of nutrients and organisms to a suite of global and regional factors (eg ...

Ecology determines how low antibiotic concentration impacts community composition and horizontal transfer of resistance genes [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2018 Low concentrations of antibiotics have numerous effects on bacteria. However, it is unknown whether ecological factors such as trophic interactions and spatial structuring influence the effects of low concentrations of antibiotics on multispecies ...

Current Knowledge on Listeria monocytogenes Biofilms in Food-Related Environments: Incidence, Resistance to Biocides, Ecology and Biocontrol [PDF]
Foods, 2018 Although many efforts have been made to control Listeria monocytogenes in the food industry, growing pervasiveness amongst the population over the last decades has made this bacterium considered to be one of the most hazardous foodborne pathogens.

On the evolutionary ecology of multidrug resistance in bacteria
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Resistance against different antibiotics appears on the same bacterial strains more often than expected by chance, leading to high frequencies of multidrug resistance. There are multiple explanations for this observation, but these tend to be specific to
