2020 review
Coevolutionary Governance of Antibiotic and Pesticide Resistance
[Review of ]. TRENDS IN ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION, 35(6), 484–494.
MeSH headings : Anti-Bacterial Agents; Disinfectants; Humans; Pesticides
TL;DR:
The concept of coevolutionary governance is introduced and three priorities for its implementation are proposed: new norms and mental models for lowering use, diversifying practices to reduce directional selection, and investment in collective action institutions to govern connectivity.

author keywords: resistance management; resistance mitigation; landscape analysis
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis / metabolism; Coleoptera / drug effects; Coleoptera / physiology; Crop Production / economics; Crop Production / methods; Endotoxins / genetics; Endotoxins / metabolism; Endotoxins / pharmacology; Insecticide Resistance; Iowa; Pest Control, Biological / economics; Plant Diseases / economics; Plant Diseases / immunology; Plant Diseases / parasitology; Plant Diseases / prevention & control; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / immunology; Plants, Genetically Modified / parasitology; Soybeans / growth & development; Zea mays / genetics; Zea mays / growth & development; Zea mays / immunology; Zea mays / parasitology
TL;DR:
The frequency of corn fields with severe rootworm damage was reduced by rotating corn with other crops and by not planting the same type of Bt corn year after year in the same field, and the effectiveness of corn rotation for mitigating Bt resistance problems did not differ significantly between crop-reporting districts with versus without prevalent rotation-resistant rootworm populations.

Does the U.S. public support using gene drives in agriculture? And what do they want to know?
Science Advances, 5(9), eaau8462.
MeSH headings : Agriculture / methods; Agriculture / standards; Attitude to Health; Conservation of Natural Resources; Gene Drive Technology / methods; Humans; Plants, Genetically Modified; Public Opinion; Surveys and Questionnaires; Trust; United States

author keywords: Bacillus thuringiensis crops; Conservation and monitoring; Institutional analysis and development; Sustainability; Transgenic crops
MeSH headings : Australia; Bacillus thuringiensis; Brazil; India; Insecticide Resistance; Pest Control, Biological; Plants, Genetically Modified; United States
TL;DR:
It is found that a shared understanding of resistance risks among government regulators, growers, and other actors is critical for effective governance, and monitoring of grower compliance with resistance management requirements, surveillance of resistance, and mechanisms to support rapid implementation of remedial actions are essential to achieve desirable outcomes.

Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?
Science, 360(6390), 728–732.

TL;DR:
Current evidence suggests that insect and weed evolution may outstrip the authors' ability to replace outmoded chemicals and other control mechanisms, and it is necessary to address the mix of ecological, genetic, economic, and sociopolitical factors that prevent implementation of sustainable pest management practices.

Insecticide resistance and malaria vector control: The importance of fitness cost mechanisms in determining economically optimal control trajectories

author keywords: insecticide resistance; malaria; vector control; economics; fitness costs
MeSH headings : Animals; Disease Vectors; Humans; Insecticide Resistance; Malaria / transmission; Models, Biological; Models, Economic; Mosquito Control
TL;DR:
This article investigates economically optimal strategies for controlling malaria-transmitting mosquitoes when there is the potential for mosquitoes to evolve resistance to insecticides, and finds that fitness costs are a key element in the computation of economically optimal resistance management strategies.
