The genetic architecture of ecological adaptation: intraspecific variation in host plant use by the lepidopteran crop pest Chloridea virescens
HEREDITY, 120(3), 234–250.
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological / genetics; Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis; Animals; Feeding Behavior; Genetic Linkage; Larva / genetics; Moths / genetics; Physalis; Quantitative Trait Loci; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
The genetic architecture of intraspecific variation is quite similar to that of the interspecific differences in terms of the number, distribution, and effect sizes of the QTL involved, and the impact of genetic architecture on the ability of Heliothine moths to respond to varying ecological selection pressures is discussed.

Insecticide Resistance Signals Negative Consequences of Widespread Neonicotinoid Use on Multiple Field Crops in the U.S. Cotton Belt
Environmental Science & Technology, 52(4), 2314–2322.
MeSH headings : Animals; Insecticide Resistance; Insecticides; Neonicotinoids; Southeastern United States; Thysanoptera
TL;DR:
The spatiotemporal abundance of cotton and soybean production is linked to neonicotinoid resistance in F. fusca that is leading to a dramatic increase in insecticide use in cotton, demonstrating that cross-crop resistance selection has important effects on pests and, in turn, drives pesticide use and increases environmental impacts associated with their use.

Histamine as an emergent indoor contaminant: Accumulation and persistence in bed bug infested homes
PLOS ONE, 13(2), e0192462.
Ed(s): J. Benoit
MeSH headings : Air Pollution, Indoor / adverse effects; Animals; Bedbugs; Histamine / analysis; Hot Temperature; Humans; Insect Control; Pest Control
TL;DR:
The high concentrations, persistence, and proximity to humans during sleep suggest that bed bug-produced histamine may represent an emergent contaminant and pose a serious health risk in the indoor environment.

Irrigation and weed control alter soil microbiology and nutrient availability in North Carolina Sandhill peach orchards
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 615, 517–525.
author keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF); Irrigation; Weed control; Peach orchard; Soil nutrients
MeSH headings : Agricultural Irrigation; Biomass; Mycorrhizae; North Carolina; Plant Roots / microbiology; Prunus persica; Soil / chemistry; Soil Microbiology; Weed Control
TL;DR:
It is indicated that long-term weed control using herbicides reduces soil fertility through reducing organic C inputs, nutrient retention and soil microbes and the need for alternative practices such as winter legume cover cropping that maintain and/or enhance organic inputs to sustain the soil fertility.
