Response to a challenging environment proceeds through adaptation, the result of stochastic processes (chance) and of the influence of history (constraint) [1]. Adaptations, such as pesticide resistance, provide an opportunity to study historical constraints. Insecticides, widely used since the mid 1950s, have elicited numerous cases of resistance.

متن کاملInsecticide Resistance
Insecticide resistance is an increasing problem faced by those who need insecticides to efficiently control medical, veterinary and agricultural insect pests. In many insects, the problem extends to all major groups of insecticides. Since the first case of DDT resistance in 1947, the incidence of resistance has increased annually at an alarming rate. It has been estimated that there are at leas...

J. Econ. Entomol. 88(5): 1113-1119 (1995) ABSTRACT Field and laboratory tests were done to determine effects of application technology, plant age, Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) subspecies, and rate of application on mortality of 2 populations of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.). One population was susceptible (Geneva 88) and the other (Loxa b) was resistant to Bacillus tlwringiens...
