Combining refuges with transgenic insect releases for the management of an insect pest with non-recessive resistance to Bt crops in agricultural landscapesT. R. Brewer and M. B. Bonsall, Journal of Theoretical Biology, 509:11. 2021.![]() Reinforcing the high-dose/refuge strategy with releases of transgenic insects has been suggested as a method for simultaneously managing agricultural pest populations and resistance to transgenic crops. Theoretical and empirical studies have shown that these approaches can work ... Keywords: genetic biocontrol, genetic sexing, genetically modified insects, SIT, sterile insect technique |

Sex Sorting for Pest Control: It’s Raining Men!C. Lutrat, D. Giesbrecht, E. Marois, S. Whyard, T. Baldet and J. Bouyer, Trends in Parasitology, 35:649-662. 2019.![]() In the pursuit of better pest- and vector-control strategies, attention returns to an old proven technology, the sterile insect technique (SIT) and related insect population-suppression methods. A major obstacle for any of these approaches that involves the release of sterile ... Keywords: genetic biocontrol, genetic sexing, genetically modified insects, SIT, sterile insect technique |
