Mutated pests are quickly adapting to biotech crops in unpredicted and disturbing ways

Mutated pests are quickly adapting to biotech crops in unpredicted and disturbing ways: "Genetically modified crops are often designed to repel hungry insects. By having toxins built into the plant itself, farmers can reduce their use of environmentally unfriendly insecticide sprays. But as any first-year evolutionary biology student can tell you, insects are like the Borg in Star Trek: they quickly adapt. And this is precisely what is happening – but in ways that have startled the researchers themselves."
