Gene drives and population persistence vs elimination: the impact of spatial structure and inbreeding at low density
2021-11-12
Abstract excerpt
Synthetic gene drive constructs are being developed to control disease vectors, invasive species, and other pest species. In a well-mixed random mating population a sufficiently strong gene drive is expected to eliminate a target population, but it is not clear whether the same is true when spatial processes play a role. In species with an appropriate biology it is possible that drive-induced reductions in density...
