Radiation dose-rate is a neglected critical parameter in dose–response of insects
Scientific Reports, 2022 Reproductive sterility is the basis of the sterile insect technique (SIT) and essential for its success in the field. Numerous factors that influence dose–response in insects have been identified. However, historically the radiation dose administered has
