Mate choice against gene drives leads to evolutionary rescue

2025-03-06

Abstract excerpt

Artificial gene drives offer a promising approach for controlling populations of agricultural pests, invasive species and disease vectors, such as malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Gene-drive alleles induce a transmission bias, meaning there is a greater than 50% probability that they will be inherited by offspring, facilitating their rapid propagation through populations. When these alleles induce high fitness costs,...
