Pesticide resistance in arthropods: Ecology matters too [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2022 AbstractPesticide 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.

The evolutionary ecology of resistance to parasitoids by Drosophila [PDF]
Heredity, 2000 Parasitoids are the most important natural enemies of many insect species. Larvae of many Drosophila species can defend themselves against attack by parasitoids through a cellular immune response called encapsulation. The paper reviews recent studies of the evolutionary biology and ecological genetics of resistance in Drosophila, concentrating on D ...

The Evolution and Ecology of Resistance in Cancer Therapy [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2020 Despite 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 human genome, have a remarkable capacity to deploy adaptive strategies for even the most effective treatments.

Evolution and ecology of antibiotic resistance genes [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007 A new perspective on the topic of antibiotic resistance is beginning to emerge based on a broader evolutionary and ecological understanding rather than from the traditional boundaries of clinical research of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. Phylogenetic insights into the evolution and diversity of several antibiotic resistance genes suggest ...

On the evolutionary ecology of multidrug resistance in bacteria
PLOS Pathogens, 2019 AbstractResistance 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 subsets of antibiotics and/or bacterial species, whereas the trend is pervasive.

Resistance is fertile: Toward a political ecology of translocal resistance [PDF]
Organization, 2021 There are more than 3000 ongoing conflicts involving the extractive industries (mining, gas, and oil) and communities impacted by extractive activity. Most of these conflicts are in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In this paper we examine three resistance movements in Brazil, Chile, and India where Indigenous groups are ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Klebsiella species, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae, are opportunistic pathogens that commonly cause infections in humans. Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is a subgroup of K.

Diversity of mucoid to non-mucoid switch among carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of intractable hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant infections and carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CPKp) are particularly feared.
