Low‐oxygen hormetic conditioning improves field performance of sterile insects by inducing beneficial plasticity

Abstract As part of sterile insect technique (SIT) programs, irradiation can effectively induce sterility in insects by damaging germline genomic DNA. However, irradiation also induces other off‐target side effects that reduce the quality and performance of sterilized males, including the formation...
