Improved estimates for extinction probabilities and times to extinction for populations of tsetse ( <i>Glossina</i> spp)

Abstract excerpt

A published study used a stochastic branching process to derive equations for the mean and variance of the probability of, and time to, extinction in population of tsetse flies ( Glossina spp) as a function of adult and pupal mortality, and the probabilities that a female is inseminated by a fertile male. The original derivation was partially heuristic and provided no proofs for inductive results. We provide thes...
