Abstract
The model suggests that, while conventional wisdom is often correct in dismissing variability in transpiration-related pupal mortality as insignificant, the effects of transpiration can be profound under adverse conditions and for some species, in general. The model demonstrates how two gender effects, the more significant one at the drier extremes of tsetse fly habitat, might arise. The agreement between calculated and measured critical water losses suggests very little difference in the behaviour of the different species.
