I, Floyd Reed, arrived and started work in Hawai'i in 2011.  Many of the publications listed just above mark an increasing transition to work that was done both in Germany and Hawai'i.  However, I am listing this 2010 paper below because it provides a lot of the basis of our current work.

2010 Altrock, P. M., A. Traulsen, R. G. Reeves, and F. A. Reed. Using underdominance to bi-stably transform local populations. Journal of Theoretical Biology 267: 62-75. doi:10.1016/j.jtbi.2010.08.004

Finally, this following publication even predates my work in Germany but is the first time I mention (in a publication) genetic engineering in the context of genetic pest management (albeit in a system that is difficult to engineer) and even underdominance. (However, it is important to note that R. Guy Reeves first came up with the idea of haploinsufficient underdominance and that we had been discussing the idea of genetic pest management and genetic population transformation since 2003. Furthermore, my experience with human genetics in Africa in 2006 motivated serious work, on my part, in applied genetic pest management in mosquito systems.) While this is petty, I am also proud that I was able to engineer a one sentence abstract!
