Metabolic rate and jump performance in seven species of desert fleas

We hypothesized that sexual and interspecific differences in jumping performance of fleas found in our previous study are correlated with differences in resting metabolic rate (RMR) between sexes and among species. To test this hypothesis, we measured RMR of seven flea species ( Xenopsylla conformis...
