Abstract excerpt
Resistance of insects to insecticides is often associated with reduced fitness in the absence of selection. We examined fitness trade-offs associated with resistance to the microbial insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), across full-sib families in a resistant population of Trichoplusia ni. Significant genetic variation in and heritability of susceptibility to Bt occurred among the full-sib families. Male...
