ABSTRACT Interactions between plants and herbivores promote evolutionary change. Studying the evolution of herbivore mechanisms aimed to cope with different host plant species is a critical intersection biology sustainable pest management. Generalist are particular interest, as hybridization genetically distinct populations can increase standing genetic variation therefore adaptive potential species. Tetranychus urticae generalist arthropod known for its potential, evidenced in immense range ability develop metabolic resistance xenobiotics. However, molecular underpinnings associated adaptation consequences this, many other pests remain elusive. Here, we use two independent, empirical approaches identify map basis performance T. . In first approach, subject diverse mite population tomato selection genomic regions linked phenotypic increased reproductive performance. second responsible on by comparing genomes pooled individuals from an F2 backcross high low Both revealed specific shared key candidate genes were identified. Our findings highlight power spider complex herbivores.
