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.

or hot weather and provide refuge from encroaching human activities like deforestation she said The remarkable thing about our study was that over a six-year period the same troops of ring-tailed lemurs used the same sleeping caves on a regular daily basis
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.

New study finds animals do recover from neglectanimal sanctuaries can play an important role in rehabilitating goats

The study shows that animal rescue centres such as Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats where we collected our data can provide a vital role in reversing long-term neglect once the animals receive excellent care.
not only stabilised but also began to increase with deer coming down from the hostile mountain areas it had sought refuge in
And by providing additional refuge from predators fleshy seaweeds that drift in and out of seagrass beds can maintain larger grazer populations
which is expected to reduce the ability of refuges to delay resistance. Refuges consist of standard plants that do not make Bt toxins
and thus allow survival of susceptible pests Under ideal conditions inheritance of resistance is not dominant
and the susceptible pests emerging from refuges greatly outnumber the resistant pests. If so the matings between two resistant pests needed to produce resistant offspring are unlikely.
According to Tabashnik overly optimistic assumptions have led the EPA to greatly reduce requirements for planting refuges to slow evolution of pest resistance to two-toxin Bt crops.
The new results should come as a wakeup call to consider larger refuges to push resistance further into the future Carriã re pointed out.
Our simulations tell us that with 10 percent of acreage set aside for refuges resistance evolves quite fast
and really know how much refuge area is required. Meanwhile let's not assume that the pyramid strategy is a silver bullet.

For example farmers in the United states and Australia have used planting of pest-friendly refuges to delay evolution of insect resistance to genetically engineered corn and cotton.
These genetically modified crops kill certain pests but without refuges the pests quickly adapt. Providing refuges of conventional plants has been especially effective for suppressing resistance in the pink bollworm an invasive pest of cotton.
However Peter Jørgensen also cautions: In many cases decision makers must pay more attention to assuring that long-term benefits of applying these solutions do not come at a short-term cost for some individuals for example from yield loss due to localised effects of pests in a particular year.

and by setting up dark refuges connected by dark corridors for light-sensitive species like bats Lewanzik says.
and the practice of growing refuges of non-Bt plants that serve as a reservoir for insects with Bt susceptible genes. â#oeour paper argues there is another factor involved:
Each cage contained Bt broccoli and refuges of non-Bt broccoli. They studied populations of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) larvae a pest of broccoli and their natural enemies ladybird beetles (Coleomegilla maculata) for six generations.
Cages contained different combinations of treatments with and without predators and with and without sprayed insecticides on the non-Bt refuge plants.
Farmers commonly spray insecticides on refuge plants to prevent loss by pests but such sprays can kill predators and prey indiscriminately.
The results showed that diamondback moth populations were reduced in the treatment containing ladybird beetles and unsprayed non-Bt refuge plants.
In contrast Bt plants with no refuge were defoliated completely in treatments without ladybirds after only four to five generations showing rapid development of resistance in the pests.
In the treatment with sprayed non-Bt refuge plants and predators diamondback moth populations were reduced

The wildlife sanctuary covers a region of low-lying forested mountains and is located in the middle of a fascinating transition zone that lies between the northern Indochinese and the southern Sundaland biogeographic regions.
A recent addition to the endemic species of this area is described the newly species of Stone Oak currently known only from the sanctuary.

The unique species composition high diversity and relatively intact forest structure underscore the importance of strengthening ongoing and future conservation measures at Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary as a key element of wider
