Abstract
This study was undertaken in order to compare the respiration rate of the field cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, to that of the house cricket, Acheta domestica. This was done by observing the CO2 output levels (in microlitres/min) of both cricket species. Our results showed that the field cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, had a greater CO2 output than the house cricket did, which suggests that the field cricket has a faster rate of respiration than that of the house cricket. There may be sever possible factors that contributed to these results such as the physical fitness of the particular cricket, the medical condition of the cricket, and …show more content…
