farmers are required to plant nearby'refuges'of conventional crops. The idea behind the refuges is to keep a population of non-resistant moths close at hand as potential mates for any resistant moths that arise.
Unfortunately, however, refuges also guarantee a steady local population of pink bollworms. After a while, farmers came to resent the refuges that allowed the bollworm to persist year after year,
costing them millions of dollars annually in crop losses and insecticide sprays. They asked the US Environmental protection agency for permission to dispense with the refuges
and instead begin releasing sterile moths. Still sceptical Tabashnik and his colleagues developed computer simulations to predict the consequences of the farmers'proposed strategy.
To his surprise, the models suggested that the combination of Bt cotton and sterile-moth releases could wipe out pest populations
Ideally, the same approach could be used in regions where poor farmer compliance with the refuge rule has contributed to widespread Bt resistance.

and should go beyond the simple implementation of refuges for Bt-susceptible moths. Bt maize and resistance developmentgenetically engineered maize is created by introducing a gene into the plant genome that expresses a toxic protein from a bacterium i e.
and in order to delay the evolution of resistance in pest populations the concept of maintaining refuges for Bt susceptible moths was developed.
Non-Bt maize fields are protecting Bt maize fieldsthe refuge strategy consists of planting a small proportion of land with non-Bt maize;
Since the probability of resistant individuals arising in the field is low any resistant insects surviving on Bt maize will mate with one of the many Bt-susceptible individuals originating from the refuge area
As a result of the study the planting of refuges needs to be reconsidered in South africa and a possibility exists that the refuge strategy may totally change in the future.
However these are very short term solutions. In the medium term single-toxin Bt maize is being replaced progressively by a stacked variety producing two different toxins

--and abundant refuges are present. Refuges consist of standard non-Bt plants that pests can eat without ingesting Bt toxins.
Computer models showed that refuges should be especially good for delaying resistance when inheritance of resistance in the pest is explained recessive Carriã re.
Planting refuges near Bt crops reduces the chances that two resistant insects will mate with each other making it more likely they will breed with a susceptible mate yielding offspring that are killed by the Bt crop.
The value of refuges has been controversial and in recent years the EPA has relaxed its requirements for planting refuges in the U s. Perhaps the most compelling evidence that refuges work comes from the pink bollworm
which evolved resistance rapidly to Bt cotton in India but not in the U s. Tabashnik said.
Same pest same crop same Bt protein but very different outcomes. He explained that in the southwestern U s. scientists from the EPA academia industry
and implement an effective refuge strategy. In India on the other hand the refuge requirement was similar but without the collaborative infrastructure compliance was low.
One of the paper's main conclusions is that evaluating two factors can help to gauge the risk of resistance before Bt crops are commercialized.
In such cases setting aside a relatively small area of land for refuges can delay resistance substantially.
Either take more stringent measures to delay resistance such as requiring larger refuges or this pest will probably evolve resistance quickly to this Bt crop.
They are thought to provide refuge from deep snow and blustery winds and to help deer hide from predators Murray explained.
In the course of 4 campaigns bats tagged with radio transmitters were followed for several nights to discover their roosts
The researchers also described their diet on the basis of their droppings and characterised their roosts the structure of the vegetation on their hunting grounds and the presence of potential preys.
Apparently the selection of roosts is conditioned less in the Mediterranean; the colonies were much more flexible in terms of the variables relating to the microclimate of the cavity--insulation orientation
