Weekly releases of drive males were conducted into an initial population of 2000 at a ratio of 0.8 (RIDD complete drive) and 1.4 (RIDD split drive) for 15 weeks. The drive conversion rate was 0.9. a Total population of fertile females and (b) the drive carrier frequency in the population is shown. 20 simulations are shown for each drive.
