Simulating effects of fitness and dispersal on the use of Trojan sex chromosomes for the management of invasive species

The use of Trojan Y chromosomes (TYC) for controlling invasive species involves manipulating the sex chromosomes of captive‐raised individuals. Following release, the offspring of these individuals consist of only one sex, thereby skewing the sex ratio of the invasive population and potentially leading to eradication. Simulation models are needed that can inform managers about how to maximize the likelihood of invasive species eradication, since...
