Transgenic crops have revolutionized insect pest control, but their effectiveness has been
reduced by evolution of resistance in pests. We analyzed global monitoring data reported …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a globally important crop that is often damaged by pests
and diseases. Current cotton pests and diseases management is dependent on chemical …

The highly polyphagous Old World cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera is a quarantine
agricultural pest for the American continents. Historically H. armigera is thought to have …

Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins are used worldwide to control
major pests of corn and cotton. Development of strategies to delay the evolution of pest …

The 'natural refuge strategy” for delaying insect resistance to transgenic cotton that produces
insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) relies on refuges of host plants other …

Evolutionary principles are now routinely incorporated into medicine and agriculture.
Examples include the design of treatments that slow the evolution of resistance by weeds …

Helicoverpa armigera has recently invaded South and Central America, and appears to be
spreading rapidly. We update a previously developed potential distribution model to …

BACKGROUND Crops genetically engineered to make insect‐killing proteins from Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) have revolutionized management of some pests. However, the benefits of …

Anthropogenic impacts increasingly drive ecological and evolutionary processes at many
spatio‐temporal scales, demanding greater capacity to predict and manage their …

Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins kill some key insect pests, but
evolution of resistance by pests can reduce their efficacy. The predominant strategy for …
