b

Initial and final LC50s were determined at F3 and F9, respectively (for Cry1Ac-SEL F15, initial and final LC50s were determined at F3 and F15, respectively). 

c

Response to selection (R) = log (final LC50) − log (initial LC50)/n

d

Percentage of the population with values above the selection threshold (percentage surviving selection). 

e

Intensity of selection (11). 

f

Phenotypic deviation [0.5 (initial slope + final slope)]−1

g

Selection differential (difference in mean phenotype between selected parents and entire parental generation, s = p). 

h

h2 = R/S

i

Approximately calculated, as LC50 is approximated (Table 3). 

j

Log of LC50s.
