**About the Editors**

#### **Gaelle Le Goff**

Gaelle Le Goff is a senior scientist at the Institut Sophia Agrobiotech, French National ¨ Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE). She has a PhD in Molecular Biology and Pharmacology from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France. She did a post-doc at the University of Bath in UK with a European Marie Curie grant and was then recruited at INRA, where she still carries out her research in functional genomics in insects. Her current projects focus on i) insect adaptation to their chemical environment (adaptation to plant secondary metabolites/insecticide resistance), ii) regulation of detoxification genes expression, and iii) annotation of insect genomes (detoxification genes).

#### **Ralf Nauen**

Ralf Nauen is an insect toxicologist working on functional (toxico)genomics, molecular entomology, fundamental and applied aspects of insecticide/acaricide mode of action, selectivity and detoxification, as well as biochemical and molecular mechanisms of insecticide resistance and its management. He received his PhD from the University of Portsmouth (UK) and is a Bayer Distinguished Science Fellow. In 2013 he was awarded to become Fellow of the Entomological Society of America and in 2014 he received the prestigious American Chemical Society International Award for Research in Agrochemicals, in recognition of his outstanding and influential research into insecticide and acaricide modes of action and resistance. He authored more than 230 scientific papers/book chapters with more than 22,000 citations. He received the Highly Cited Researcher award by the Web of Science 2018-2020. He is appointed Visiting Professor by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Beijing, China) and lecturer at the University of Bonn (Germany).
