Evolution in toxic environments
Evolutionary forces work to transform populations, but are generally a slow process. However, humans have invented tools (antibiotics, insecticide, herbicides, fungicides, etc.) that produce an enormous section pressure and can result in the rapid evolution of resistant populations. will We examine how the use of pesticides leads to the evolution of resistant populations and what genetic changes are involved. Class is open to upperlevel undergraduates with permission of instructor.
