A lot has been learned about insecticide resistance in the past 40 years. The problem is
more extensive and widespread than could have been predicted. In this review, Richard …

A prominent hypothesis about insecticide resistance is that genes of major effect play a key
role in field-evolved resistance because the intensity of selection is extremely high in the …

The agricultural use of synthetic insecticides usually protects crops but imposes strong
selection pressures that can result in the development of resistance. The most important …

Pesticide resistance is an evolutionary phenomenon (Dobzhansky 1951), which cannot be
fully understood without genetic data. Genetic studies are a major tool in developing …

A list of often‐discussed resistance management tactics is critically reviewed. Alteration of
insecticides across generations, non‐persistent formulations, and the use of pesticides …

Simple one-and multi-generation models are used to show the essential features of the
dynamics of selection for resistance to one insecticide or two unrelated insecticides in insect …

Pest resistance to insecticides is a serious worldwide problem. Resistance to one or more
pesticides has been documented in more than 440 insect and mite species, with costs of …

The future of insect control looked very bright in the 1950s and 1960s with new insecticides
constantly coming onto the market. Today, however, whole classes of pesticide chemistry …
