Mathematical modeling of genetic pest management through female-specific lethality: Is one locus better than two?

EVOLUTIONARY APPLICATIONS, 14(6), 1612–1622.

By: M. Vella n, F. Gould n  & A. Lloyd n 

author keywords: eradication; female killing; mathematical modeling; multilocus; population genetics
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.
