Abstract
Biologists have usually considered resistance to pesticides as an applied problem, albeit one of considerable importance. An ever increasing range of organisms have become resistant to chemical agents used in their control, adding to the costs of a number of industries (Georghiou, 1986). The future availability of effective new control agents is also a cause of concern (Metcalf, 1980; Hotson, 1985).
