Insecticide exposure affects intergenerational patterns of DNA methylation in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata
Abstract Insecticide use is pervasive as a selective force in modern agroecosystems.Insect herbivores exposed to these insecticides have been able to rapidly evolve resistance to them, but how they are able to do so is poorly understood.One possible but largely unexplored explanation is that exposure to sublethal doses of insecticides may alter epi
