An invasion can be started with only a small number of individuals, and it is very difficult to reliably detect these individuals. This project aims to develop new genetic technology that can send small founder populations extinct without affecting large populations. This technology removes the problem of having to detect small populations; these small populations will go extinct on their own, without the need for management intervention. This technology could be used to prevent establishment and spread of invasive species and agricultural pests. Through a combination of experimentation and modelling, the project develops this technology and assesses its use in applied problems ranging across environment, agriculture, and health.

入侵可以由少数个体开始，并且很难可靠地检测这些个体。该项目旨在开发新的基因技术，可以使小的创始人种群灭绝，而不会影响大的种群。这项技术消除了必须检测小种群的问题;这些小种群将自行灭绝，而不需要管理干预。 该技术可用于防止入侵物种和农业害虫的建立和传播。通过实验和建模的结合，该项目开发了这项技术，并评估了其在环境，农业和健康等应用问题中的应用。
