Medfly areawide sterile insect technique programmes for prevention, suppression or eradication: the importance of mating behavior studies
TL;DR: There is considerable scope for improving the efficiency of medfly SIT, an indispensable requirement for increased involvement of the private sector in any future application.

Sterile Insect Quality
C. O. Calkins,A. G. Parker +1 more
TL;DR: Regular implementation of field or field-cage tests under semi-natural conditions, where sterile males have to compete with wild males for wild females, is required to provide the ultimate assurance that the sterile insects have the ability to fulfil their mission after release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bigger isn't always better: body size, developmental and parental temperature and male territorial success in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: These experiments demonstrate that developmental temperatures, both within and between generations, influence territorial success in male flies.

New Indices and Method to Measure the Sexual Compatibility and Mating Performance of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) Laboratory-Reared Strains Under Field Cage Conditions
TL;DR: The method to assess the sexual compatibility and mating performance of Mediter- ranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), mass-reared strains has been revised and three new indices that look at the relative impact of both male and female population on the sexual isolation between laboratory and wild strains are described.

Targeting male mosquito mating behaviour for malaria control
TL;DR: It is argued that recent and continuing progress in understanding of male mating biology is instrumental in the implementation of new approaches based on the release of either conventional sterile or genetically engineered males, which could lead to the development of new interventions and contribute to new population sampling tools.
