Selection at the diazinon resistance locus in overwintering populations of Lucilia cuprina (the Australian sheep blowfly) [PDF]
Heredity, 1994 In excess of 70 per cent mortality is observed during the overwintering stage of the life cycle of L. cuprina. The mortality is selective in the absence of a fitness modifier; phenotypes resistant to diazinon overwinter less successfully than susceptibles. In the presence of the modifier the overwintering success of all genotypes is similar. The effect
