The results of progeny tests of males and females captured during two field trials of sex-linked translocation strains for genetic control of L. cuprina are presented. Males released as mature larvae survived to adulthood and mated with field females. However, the levels of genetic death introduced into the population were insufficient to suppress the native population. This was due partly to seasonal ineffectiveness of the release method, and partly to poor performance of the released males. On average, the mating competitiveness of the released males was only one-third that of field males, whereas their field-reared, translocation-bearing sons were fully competitive with native males.
本文展示了在两次用于铜绿丽蝇遗传控制的性连锁易位品系田间试验中捕获的雄性和雌性后代测试结果。作为成熟幼虫释放的雄性存活至成年并与田间雌性交配。然而，引入种群的遗传死亡水平不足以抑制本地种群。这部分是由于释放方法的季节性无效，部分是由于释放雄性的表现不佳。平均而言，释放雄性的交配竞争力仅为田间雄性的三分之一，而它们在田间饲养、携带易位基因的儿子与本地雄性具有完全竞争力。
