This study uses simulations to show that FM-CI extends infection persistence in haplodiploids and that hypomorphic Sd expression can maintain infection stability when CI is lost.

This study identifies genetic variants, including copy number variation and cis-regulatory changes, associated with pyflubumide resistance in spider mites through high-resolution genetic mapping and functional experiments.

The paper uses experimental evolution in spider mites to map genetic loci underlying pesticide resistance and host plant adaptation, revealing polygenic and locus-specific mechanisms.

The paper manipulates metapopulation structure in Tetranychus urticae mites and observes evolutionary changes in life history traits and gene expression.
