author keywords: CRISPR-Cas9; fitness costs; meiotic drive; population suppression; selfish genetic elements; sex ratio distorter; transposable element; Wolbachia
MeSH headings : Biological Evolution; Gene Drive Technology; Selection, Genetic

Comparison of two detailed models of Aedes aegypti population dynamics
Ecosphere, 7(10), e01515.
author keywords: Aedes aegypti; model comparison; mosquito-borne diseases; population dynamics; spatial model; vector control
TL;DR:
It is shown that predictions of population recovery by the models differ substantially, an effect likely related to model assumptions regarding larval development and (direct or delayed) density dependence, and revealing the impact of model assumptions on population dynamics predictions in unperturbed and perturbed conditions.

Gene-drive into insect populations with age and spatial structure: a theoretical assessment
Evolutionary Applications, 4(3), 415–428.
author keywords: age and spatial structure; engineered underdominance; gene drive; release threshold; theoretical assessment
TL;DR:
This study demonstrates that to determine the best method of spatial release, and the total number of engineered insects that must be released, it is important to take into account the age and sex of the released insects and spatial structure of the population.

Insect oviposition behavior affects the evolution of adaptation to Bt crops: consequences for refuge policies
EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY, 24(5), 1017–1030.
author keywords: Behavioral resistance; Physiological resistance; Bt crop; Monitoring; Host specificity; Host shift
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that certain ecological conditions allow for the evolution of behavioral choices favoring alternative oviposition hosts that limit the increase in resistance alleles, even when they are phenotypically dominant.

A Killer-Rescue system for self-limiting gene drive of anti-pathogen constructs
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 275(1653), 2823–2829.
author keywords: gene drive; selfish genes; Aedes; Anopheles; dengue; malaria
MeSH headings : Alleles; Animals; Culicidae / genetics; Culicidae / parasitology; Culicidae / virology; Disease Transmission, Infectious / prevention & control; Gene Frequency; Genes, Lethal; Genetic Engineering / methods; Genotype; Inheritance Patterns; Insect Vectors / genetics; Insect Vectors / parasitology; Insect Vectors / virology; Models, Genetic; Transgenes
TL;DR:
A gene-drive mechanism that can be self-limiting over time and space, and is simpler to build is proposed, which involves one gene that codes for toxicity (killer) and a second that confers immunity to the toxic effects (rescue).

Gene-drive in age-structured insect populations
Evolutionary Applications, 2(2), 143–159.
author keywords: assortative mating; fitness cost; genetic control; mosquito; release threshold
TL;DR:
It is found that models without age‐structure and mating details can substantially overestimate or underestimate the numbers of engineered insects that must be introduced into a wild population to achieve successful gene‐drive based on the Medea and engineered underdominance mechanisms.
