A critical assessment of the detailed Aedes aegypti simulation model Skeeter Buster 2 using field experiments of indoor insecticidal control in Iquitos, Peru

This paper evaluates the Skeeter Buster 2 model's ability to predict Ae. aegypti population responses to insecticidal control using field experiments in Iquitos, Peru, finding overestimations in nulliparous females and immature containers.

Evolution of Knockdown Resistance Haplotypes in Response to Pyrethroid Selection in Aedes aegypti

This study tracks the evolution of kdr haplotypes in Aedes aegypti over 18 years in Iquitos, Peru, showing a direct link between pyrethroid spraying and increased resistance allele frequencies.

Genome evolution in an agricultural pest following adoption of transgenic crops

This study analyzes genomic changes in Helicoverpa zea over 15 years to understand the evolution of resistance to transgenic crops.

Locally Fixed Alleles: A method to localize gene drive to island populations

This paper proposes a gene drive method to localize population elimination to island populations by targeting locally fixed alleles, showing limited spread to non-target populations.

Tethered homing gene drives: a new design for spatially restricted population replacement and suppression

This paper introduces a new gene drive system called Tethered Homing (TH) that improves localized population suppression and offers adjustable genetic load with minimal additional release.

Contemporary evolution of a Lepidopteran species, Heliothis virescens, in response to modern agricultural practices

This study examines genomic changes in Heliothis virescens over 15 years following the introduction of Bt cotton, identifying loci with significant allele frequency shifts and quantifying selection pressures.

Evaluating Strategies For Reversing CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Drives

The paper models gene drive reversal strategies using a discrete time population genetics model to evaluate their efficacy under different parameters and release scenarios.
