1 Introduction Insecticide resistance is a classic example of natural selection and a global economic problem threatening sustainable food production (Hawkins et al. 2019). Understanding the genetic basis of resistance is crucial for both academic research and applied pest management. This is especially relevant in the current environment where research on genetics- and genomics-based pest management is rapidly advancing (Li et al. 2022; Palli 2014; Yan, Aumann, et al. 2023).

Abstract Given the increased accessibility of genomic techniques, the speed of evolution of resistance, and the large number of genes involved in resistance, investigations into the genetic basis of resistance in more species are pertinent. Despite being an important agricultural pest, only a limited number of genetic mapping studies based on crossed populations have been performed to identify genes involved in resistance in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, CPB).
