Mathematical modeling of genetic pest management through female-specific lethality: Is one locus better than two?

EVOLUTIONARY APPLICATIONS, 14(6), 1612–1622.

By: M. Vella n, F. Gould n & A. Lloyd n

author keywords: eradication; female killing; mathematical modeling; multilocus; population genetics

Variation in performance on cry1Ab-transformed and nontransgenic rice varieties among populations of Scirpophaga incertulas (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae) from Luzon Island, Philippines

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 93(6), 1773–1778.

TL;DR: Variation in performance under greenhouse conditions among seven populations of Scirpophaga incertulas from Luzon Island, Philippines, on three rice varieties indicated that there was little variation in general vigor among the S.incertulas populations and thus that the variation in performance on cry1Ab-transformed IR58 was probably attributable to differences in susceptibility to Cry1Ab.

TL;DR: It is found that the spatial scale and the temporal pattern of refuges can have a strong effect on the development of resistance to B. thuringiensis in transgenic cotton and delays in larval development time on Bt cotton may either increase or decrease the rate of resistance development, depending on complex interactions with the length of the growing season.
