Answer: This shows that over time, some insects can become "pesticide-resistant" meaning that pesticides don't affect them anymore. And this only happens every few generations.

How are utah and mexican praire dogs genes alike
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

In terms of genetic variation, allelic richness (A) estimated through rarefaction resulted in 1.6–3.0 mean alleles per colony, and no private alleles were found. Mean genetic diversity (HE) was 0.525 (SD = 0.11), with values ranging from 0.276 (SD = 0.25) to 0.618 (SD = 0.09).

Explanation:

Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens), and Mexican prairie dog (Cynomys mexicanus)—all of which may be considered rare (Hoogland 2006a). After 200 years of shootings, poisonings, conversion of habitat, and more recently plague, prairie dog numbers are a fraction of what they once were. Two of the species (Utah and Mexican) are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
