Villacis-Perez et al. (2023) uncovers the complex basis of abamectin resistance, and highlights the intraspecific diversity of genetic mechanisms underlying resistance in Tetranychus urticae. This study used experimental evolution in combination with a population-level based bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and with next-generation sequencing to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with abamectin resistance in two genetically unrelated strains of T. urticae, ROS-ITi and MAR-ABi (Kurlovs et al., 2019). Results reveal how unrelated populations of a single arthropod species respond to ...
