Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent genomic
analyses are showing this in many insects and vertebrates, as well as in microbes and …

Hybridization between species is commonplace in plants, but is often seen as unnatural and
unusual in animals. Here, I survey studies of natural interspecific hybridization in plants and …

The recent accumulation of molecular studies on mutations in insects, ticks and mites
conferring resistance to insecticides, acaricides and biopesticides is reviewed. Resistance is …

High insecticide resistance resulting from insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has
emerged in mosquitoes. A single mutation (G119S of the ace‐1 gene) explains this high …

Animal species adapt to changes in their environment, including man-made changes such
as the introduction of insecticides, through selection for advantageous genes already …

Agricultural use of insecticides is involved in the selection of resistance to these compounds
in field populations of mosquitoes in Burkina Faso. Anopheles gambiae sl was resistant to …

Because free-insecticide treated net distribution is planned in Benin (West Africa) during the
next few years, we investigated the type, frequency and distribution of insecticide resistance …

Since the implementation of Roll Back Malaria, the widespread use of insecticide-treated
nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) is thought to have played a major part in the …

Abstract Background Insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes is threatening the
success of malaria control programmes. This is particularly true in Benin where pyrethroid …

Mosquito control remains a central pillar of efforts to reduce malaria burden in sub-Saharan
Africa. However, insecticide resistance is entrenched in malaria vector populations, and …
