Abstract excerpt
The assumption that males and females are equally tolerant to pesticides in haplodiploid arthropods led to the prediction that the evolution of resistance is faster in haplodiploid than in diploid arthropods. However, in this review, it was found that the ratio of male to female tolerance is substantially smaller in haplodiploid than in diploid arthropods, indicating that resistance alleles are not strongly...
