Recent genomic studies reveal that bed bugs might have been among the earliest pests to thrive in urban environments. The DNA evidence indicates that the conditions found in cities facilitated the adaptation of bed bugs into a pest lifestyle that benefits from human habitation. This suggests a significant evolutionary relationship between urbanization and pest proliferation, where the ecological niche offered by cities has played a crucial role in the bed bugs' success as pests.
Genomic evidence indicates that bed bugs may have been some of the earliest urban insect pests, adapting successfully to city living through genetic evolution.
The DNA analysis highlights the relationship between urban living and pest adaptation, suggesting that cities provided an ideal environment for bed bugs to thrive.
