Abstract Individuals living in heterogeneous environments often choose microenvironments that provide benefits to their fitness. Theory predicts such “niche choice” can promote rapid adaptation novel and help maintain genetic diversity. An open question of large applied importance is how niche choice evolution affect the insecticide resistance phytophagous insects. We, therefore, developed an individual-based model based on insects examine host plant via oviposition preferences. To find biologically realistic parameter ranges, we performed empirical literature survey major agricultural pests also conducted a density-dependent survival experiment using potato beetles. We that, comparison scenario where individuals randomly oviposit eggs toxic or non-toxic plants, generally leads slower facilitates coexistence different phenotypes. Our simulations reveal recombination rate dominance effects influence both resistance. Thus, this study provides new insights into highlights need for more studies basis choice.
