“…In particular, sex peptides (SP) are harmful proteins that alter female fecundity and decrease their sexual receptivity, with important carry-over effects on their immunity, life span and fitness (Gioti et al, 2012;Perry et al, 2013;Wigby & Chapman, 2005). Studies conducted in other insects show that temperature can influence male fertility via damage to the testes and/ or sperm (Gasparini, Lu, Dingemanse Niels, & Tuni, 2017;Jørgensen, Sørensen, & Bundgaard, 2006;Lacoume, Bressac, & Chevrier, 2007;Nguyen, Bressac, & Chevrier, 2013;Rohmer, David, Moreteau, & Joly, 2004). Similarly, two studies in other Drosophilid species found that temperature affected sperm motility and fertility and ultimately caused partial sterility (Jørgensen et al, 2006;Rohmer et al, 2004).…”
