An overview of the mitigating mechanisms of the fitness cost of mutations associated with pesticide resistance in arthropods

Alleles that cause resistance to pesticides may also result in host physiological cost, as they can impair phenotypes such as reproduction and survival. However, works have described that in some arthropods mechanisms that mitigate the physiological cost have also been selected. This review covers...
