The development of strains resistant to insecticides is an extremely widespread phenomenon that is known to have occurred in more than 200 species of insects and mites, and resistance of up to several 100-fold has been noted. The different biochemical and genetic factors involved have been studied extensively and well characterized. Relatively few vertebrate species are known to have developed pesticide resistance and the level of resistance in vertebrates is low compared to that often found in insects. Susceptible and resistant strains of pine voles exhibit a 7.4-fold difference in endrin toxicity. Similarly pine mice of a strain resistant to endrin were reported to be 12-fold more tolerant than a susceptible strain. Other examples include the occurrence of organochlorine insecticide-resistant and susceptible strains of mosquito fish, and resistance to Belladonna in certain rabbit strains.

Figure 4. Time spent (hours) by weanling and mature (a) female and (b) male pine voles with olfactory cues from an unfamiliar, mature opposite-sex conspecific versus those from their family. For females, there was a significant difference between age classes (P = 0.01) but for males the effect was of borderline statistical significance (P = 0.05). Adapted from Solomon Rumbaugh (1997).
