The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Insecticide resistance in Tephritid flies (2011, background): “Several mutant strains have been generated which culminated in the development of genetic sexing strains, in an effort to facilitate its genetics and the improvement of effective SIT (for a review see Franz [74]).”
Incompatible insect technique: incompatible males from a Ceratitis capitata genetic sexing strain (2009, methodology): “Adjacent-1 segre- gation leads to two reciprocal types of genetically unbalanced offspring, half of them carry triplications for the region between the translocation breakpoint and the tip of that arm, whereas the other half have a deletion for this region [see Figure 5 in Franz (2005)].”
The sterile insect technique as a component of sustainable area-wide integrated pest management of selected horticultural insect pests (2006, methodology): “By using a new temperature-sensitive lethal mutation (tsl), all females can be eliminated by exposing the eggs to 35°C for 24 hours (Franz, 2005).”
