Links Between Evolution and Biological Control Are Less Developed MACROEVOLUTION
Some of Things That Have Been Done: • Genetics of insect introductions. • Formulation of hypotheses. • Formulation of models. • Genetic surveys. • Evolution of natural enemy-pest interactions.
Vital Evolutionary Issues in Biological Control • Local adaptation. • Adaptive evolution. • The role of bottlenecks. • The evolution of host-ranges. • Evolution of resistance.
Evolution Change in allele frequencies over time.
