and the cockroach will be different when physical stress and temperature changes are present.The null hypothesis is that the cricket’s metabolic rate will be similar to (Blaptica dubia) cockroach’s rate when physical stress and temperatures changes are present. The cricket will experience an increase in metabolic rate when subjected to physical stress similar to the response of (Blaptica dubia) cockroach. The cricket will also show an increased response as the (Blaptica dubia) cockroach when cold

Explain previous studies on physical stress in the cricket and in different species of cockroaches. Briefly discuss how the metabolic rate between the two species has been found to be very similar. Two studies have shown that the resting metabolic rate of 11 species of cockroaches were VO2=0.261 Moles (Coelho and Moore, 1989) and 3 species of crickets were VO2=0.277 (Prestwich

Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa), ectotherms that were easily observable and subjectable to habituation, were used to compare differences in standard metabolic rates between organisms. The hypothesis is that the habituated G. portentosa will have a lower weight specific metabolic rate than the non-habituated G. portentosa. To measure metabolic rates of habituated and non-habituated cockroaches that were either male or female, the cockroaches were put into a flow meter
