The evolution of resistance to pesticides is often conceptualised and modelled at a population level, but population-based approaches ignore important aspects of variability between individuals within populations that may be essential drivers of resistance. Here it is argued that individual-based modelling has the potential to generate new insights and perspectives, thus deepening our understanding of the complexities of the evolutionary dynamics of resistance to pesticides.
抗药性的演变通常在种群水平上进行概念化和建模，但基于种群的方法忽略了种群内个体之间的重要变异性方面，而这些变异性可能是抗药性演变的重要驱动因素。本文认为，基于个体的建模具有产生新见解和观点的潜力，从而加深我们对抗药性演变的复杂性的理解。
