Rapid experimental evolution of pesticide resistance in C. elegans entails no costs and affects the mating system.

Pesticide resistance is a major concern in natural populations and a model trait to study adaptation. Despite the importance of this trait, the dynamics of its evolution and of its ecological consequences remain largely unstudied. To fill this gap, we performed experimental evolution with replicated...
