What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits?:A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability [PDF]
There is growing interest in trait selection for the improvement of insect biological control. Constraints from the Nagoya Protocol for sourcing novel biocontrol agents (BCAs) make optimization of accessible populations a higher priority.
