Microevolution in IPM Part II
3
Challenging Questions How common is local adaptation of natural enemies to their hosts or environment? How critical is it for success of biological control to find locally adapted natural enemies for importation?
6
? ?
7
Important Factors to the Evolution of Local Adaptation Natural enemy host range Relative life span of natural enemy and pest Relative migration rates of n.e. and pest
9
Local Adaptation Has Influenced Regulation Already
10
Challenging Questions What is the role of adaptation after introductions in biological control?
12
Bathyplectes curculionidae Hyperia postica Hyperia brunneipennis

Challenging Questions Do introductions of natural enemies impose bottlenecks? Is reduced genetic variation associated with low fitness?
