Management of Genetics of Biological-Control Introductions

Hopper, K R, Roush, R T, Powell, W·1993·Annual Review of Entomology

Abstract

For over 100 years, arthropod pests and weeds have been controlled by the introducion of exotic natural enemies (21). For almost as long, entomologists have discussed the importance of genetics and the possibility of genetic manipulations in biological control, and today these remain subjects of considerable debate. Perhaps the first issue raised was that predators and parasites might be artificially selected for improved performance in the field (46, 47, 59). In contrast, a major concern for laboratory rearing of insects and mites used in biological control is that such rearing will promote genetic adaptation to laboratory conditions and thus worsen performance in the field (57. 58). Another concern is that natural enemies imported for biological control constitute only a limited sample of the genetic variation present in the species, and may therefore lack the ability to adapt to their new environment (64,65). Many of these issues. and possible solutions. have been discussed recently

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
