Simulations for assessing the suitability of YY-males as a control method across life histories
August 18, 2023
This repository contains code to simulate the use of YY-males as a control tool for different aquatic invasive species.
The code uses the Meta-IPM Python package (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9PW673G) The code for this project assumes the reader is familiar with Jupyter
Notebooks, enough Conda and Python to install the Meta-IPM package, and population ecology.

Assessing the suitability of YY males and ZZ females as an invasive species population control method across life histories
Natural resource managers use tools to control invasive species. In theory, stocking YY males or ZZ females would allow managers to skew sex ratios until populations collapse. In combination with other suppression methods, such as removal, this approach could be incorporated into Integrated Pest Management plans. For example, fishery managers have stocked YY males to control isolated non-native br
