Stress in dipteran insects mass-reared for sterile insect technique applications. [PDF]
Insect SciAbstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism. Stress may arise from the external or internal environment of living organisms and plays a significant role in the fight or flight responses of animals. An organism's potential to resist stress is determined by its ability to mount up an effective response

Transient population dynamics of mosquitoes during sterile male releases : modelling mating behaviour and perturbations of life history parameters [PDF]
, 2013 The release of genetically-modified or sterile male mosquitoes offers a promising form of mosquito-transmitted pathogen control, but the insights derived from our understanding of male mosquito behaviour have not fully been incorporated into the design ...
