TL;DR: A population genetics model with density dependence is used to evaluate the relative effectiveness of female killing approaches based on single- and two-construct arrangements and finds that the single-construct arrangement results in slightly faster population suppression, but the two- construct arrangement can eventually cause stronger suppression and cause local elimination with a smaller release size.
