Release, recapture and quality control data for fresh (1d old) replicates.
Estimated number released in each plot based on pupal volume and an even sex ratio was 6,300 each of males and females. Considering the emergence proportion, proportion responders to ME, and proportion of fliers, the estimated number of males available for capture per plot varied between 3,427 and 4,957 across trials.
