Abstract
This chapter describes the various steps involved in monitoring arthropod populations for evidence of increases in resistance. Definitions of susceptibility and tolerance are discussed. Scientists have several useful techniques for quantifying tolerance in populations, but they should be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each. Monitoring programs must be efficient with consideration of logistics, costs and practical issues. Sampling or surveying rare individuals in a population is not easy. Several examples of monitoring programs are reviewed.
