This volume contains the results of a research project on self-propagating artificial genetic elements as triggers of phase transitions in animal and plant populations. The project was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (grant number: 01LC1724A-C). The findings during the case study about the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) would not have been possible without our prosperous collaboration with Dr. Emmanouil Kabourakis from the Institute of Viticulture,
