Abstract excerpt
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...
