Abstract: A laboratory strain of pest that is resistant to a bacterial toxin engineered into cotton takes longer to develop than the non-resistant form. The implication of these new ecological research results is that the ‘refuge strategy’ of reducing the emergence of resistance to genetically modified crops may be flawed. But what, more broadly, are the scientific questions about GM crops that ecologists are attempting to tackle?
