The rate of spread of a DEG through a landscape as a function of homing rate for different assumptions about insect biology (here motivated by mosquitoes) [59]. The wave speed is measured in km year −1, the diffusion parameter is 10 km−2 year−1, and the adult and juvenile lifespans are 10 and 20 days, respectively. Spread is slower when only some stages disperse and when females mate only once and are thus less efficient at transporting the DEG in sperm
