Polyandry: A threat or an opportunity for the sterile insect technique?
Fig 6
Heatmaps of the eradication threshold (Eq 4) as a function of (A) refractory rates (x-axis) and
(y-axis) and (B) the competitiveness of sterilized males
(x-axis) and the refractory rate of females mated with sterilized males
(y-axis).
Default parameter values are represented by white crosses on heatmpas. (A) The parameter is fixed at 0.6, as listed in Table 2, and the white dashed line represents the scenario of equal re-mating (
). The top-left region corresponds to
, while the bottom-right region corresponds to
. (B) The parameter
is fixed at 0.12, as detailed in Table 2. The eradication threshold was capped at one million; values exceeding this limit are included in the yellow area of the heatmap.
