Pest control by genetic manipulation of sex ratio.

Journal of economic entomology - 1 Feb 2005

Schliekelman Paul, Ellner Stephen, Gould Fred

Abstract excerpt

We model the release of insects carrying an allele at multiple loci that shifts sex ratios in favor of males. We model two approaches to sex ratio alteration. In the first (denoted SD), meiotic segregation (or sperm fertility) is distorted in favor of gametes carrying the male-determining genetic element (e.g., Y-chromosome). It is assumed that any male carrying at least one copy of the SD allele produces only...
