Quantitative genetic tools for insecticide resistance risk assessment: estimating the heritability of resistance.

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative genetic studies of resistance can provide estimates of genetic parameters not available with other types of genetic analyses. Three methods are discussed for estimating the amount of additive genetic variation in resistance to individual insecticides and subsequent estimation of the heritability (h2) of resistance. Sibling analysis and offspring-parent regression permit direct estimates of h2 by...
