Evolution of pesticide resistance: interactions between generation time and genetic, ecological, and operational factors
1990
We used computer simulation modeling to clarify the relationship between generation time and the rate of evolution of pesticide resistance. We examined the influence of generation time under various assumptions about genetics, population dynamics, and selection pressures. The simplest model demonstrated that the time required for resistance to evolve can be independent of generation time. However, interactions of generation time with genetic, biological, and operational factors resulted in positive, negative, and U-shaped relationships between the number of generations per year and the time required for resistance to evolve. These results preclude any generalizations concerning the influence of generation time on resistance evolution. Some ability to predict the influence of generation time may still exist on a case-by-case basis if the context of the resistance episode can be specified.
