1. Aphids are capable of adapting to parasitoid pressure in the absence of sexual reproduction using epigenetically controlled polyphenism. Asexual lineages of aphids could thus become resistant to parasitoids over time and with repeated exposure, hampering biocontrol efforts that rely on parasitoid wasps.

寄生寄生压力不会在绿色桃蚜中引起防御性多态性

1.利用表观遗传控制的多态性，蚜虫能够在无性繁殖的情况下适应拟寄生物的压力。蚜虫的无性谱系可能随着时间的推移和反复暴露而变得对寄生虫有抵抗力，从而妨碍了依赖寄生虫黄蜂的生物防治工作。
