Rapid evolution of resistance to parasitism in biological control.

The article focuses on the need for rapid evolution of resistance to parasitism in biological control which is an ecosystem service in which a pest, pathogen, or weed is effectively controlled through an ecological interaction with biological control agents. Topics discussed include information on introduction of parasitoids for minimizing parasitism; use of genomic techniques for enhancing knowledge of the population and genetic dynamics; and impact of parasitoids on environment.
