Abstract:1. In insect-resistant populations, adaptive fitness is intimately related to the physiological responses of males and females to different stressors.2. By using laboratory-selected imidacloprid-resistant individuals of the Neotropical brown stink bug Euschistus heros, one of the most prevalent pests in soybean fields in the Neotropical region, we evaluated whether resistance to imidacloprid (synergized by piperonyl butoxide-PBO) would differentially affect the longevity, body mass and respiratory responses of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
