Abstract
Development of genetic control strategies has stimulated interest due to environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use. The sterile insect technique can be seen as a precursor to newer technologies to achieve goals of pest suppression and pathogen interference. Genetic engineering techniques offer promise, but resistance mutations can hamper their success. These tactics generally involve release of male insects and require mating for efficacy in pest control. Therefore an understanding of mating behavior and population dynamics is critical.
