Abstract
Females of Dahlbominus fuscipennis (Zett.) were more resistant than males to both the lethal and the sterilizing effects of treatment at 43 °C. Three major effects were discovered in the females: permanent sterilization, reduced fertility, and inactivation of the sperm stored in the spermatheca. In addition, temporary sterilization was indicated. Where sterilization occurred in the males it was usually permanent. It was shown that an apparently harmless amount of heat can have a significant effect on reproduction.
