| Abstract: | Summary Modelling studies are presented which describe the effect of lek mating on the control of a wild population by sterile male
release. The mixed leks are assumed to follow a Poisson-binomial distribution and the system includes three parts: territory
defense, matings inside a lek and matings outside a lek. The effects of parameters on the hatchability are discussed. Among
the parameters, sterile type effect (W
s
), female choice (f
s
) and mating competitiveness (C
m
) are the most important. The application to determining the effects of sterile male release and on the proportion of sterile
males required for eradication are also discussed. |
