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 ...

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

On the evolutionary ecology of multidrug resistance in bacteria [PDF]
PLOS Pathogens, 2017 Abstract 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 subsets of antibiotics and/or bacterial species, whereas the trend is ...

Ecological feedbacks and the evolution of resistance [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2009 Summary 1. The idea that parasites can affect host diversity is pervasive, and the possibility that parasites can increase host diversity is of particular interest. In this review, we focus on diversity in the resistance of hosts to their parasites, and on the different ways in which parasites can increase or decrease this ...

The ecology and evolution of tetracycline resistance [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992 The use of tetracycline over the past few decades has been accompanied by a drastic increase in the frequency of tetracycline resistance in a wide range of bacterial species and genera. A diversity of resistance determinants is found in the microbial world, coding for markedly different mechanisms of resistance.

Host range of antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plant influent and effluent [PDF]
, 2018 Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) collect wastewater from various sources for a multi-step treatment process. By mixing a large variety of bacteria and promoting their proximity, WWTPs constitute potential hotspots for the emergence of antibiotic ...

The Urban Political Ecology of Post-industrial Scottish Towns: Examining Greengairs and Ravenscraig [PDF]
, 2013 Urban ecological politics is shaped by both moments of concerted action and more silent perceptions and responses. Instead of only being evident in situations of organised protest, the politics of urban ecology is also manifested, in material and ...

Successfully resisting a pathogen is rarely costly in
, 2010 Background A central hypothesis in the evolutionary ecology of parasitism is that trade-offs exist between resistance to parasites and other fitness components such as fecundity, growth, survival, and predator avoidance, or resistance to other parasites.

Lack of correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to a herbivore in crucifer plants: real or flawed by experimental methods? [PDF]
, 2009 The correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to herbivores in plants has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, and various approaches to determining levels of resistance have been used in this field of research.

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 ...
