Fig. 3.From: How driving endonuclease genes can be used to combat pests and disease vectorsSchematic insect life cycle illustrating the significance of the relative timing of the fitness effect of the DEG and the action of density dependence. Brown ovals represent life cycle stages and blue squares population densities. a The absence of a DEG; b DEG expressed before density dependence; c DEG expressed after density dependenceBack to article page
