Gene-drive in age-structured insect populations

EVOLUTIONARY APPLICATIONS, 2(2), 143–159.

By: Y. Huang n, A. Lloyd n , M. Legros n & F. Gould n 

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.
