Thus, these ectoparasites should be adapted to environmental conditions in burrows, including high fractional concentrations of CO2 (FCO2). We examined how a high FCO2\u00a0(0.04) affected survival and reproductive success of a hematophagous ectoparasite of burrowing rodents using fleas Xenopsylla ramesis and Sundevall's jirds Meriones crassus. In the first experiment, fleas fed on hosts housed in high-CO2 (FCO2=0.04) or atmospheric-CO2 (FCO2\u22480.0004) air, and were allowed to breed. In a second experiment, fleas were maintained in high CO2 or CO2-free air with no hosts to determine how CO2 levels affect survival and activity levels. We found that at high FCO2\u00a0fleas laid fewer eggs, reducing reproductive success. In addition, at high FCO2, activity levels and survival of fleas were reduced. Our results indicate that fleas do not perform well in the FCO2\u00a0used in this experiment. Previous research indicated that the type and intensity of the effects of CO2 concentration on the fitness of an insect depend on the FCO2\u00a0used, so we advise caution when generalizing inferences drawn to insects exposed to other FCO2. If, however, FCO2\u00a0found in natural mammal burrows brings about reduced fitness in fleas in general, then burrowing hosts may benefit from reduced parasite infestation if burrow air FCO2\u00a0is high.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.122812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,18]],"date-time":"2015-11-18T22:42:21Z","timestamp":1447886541000},"page":"3596-3603","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Flea fitness is reduced by high fractional concentrations of CO2 that simulate levels found in their hosts' burrows"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"218","author":[{"given":"Cynthia J.","family":"Downs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mitrani Department of Desert Ecology, Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Midreshet Ben-Gurion 84990, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Berry","family":"Pinshow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mitrani Department of Desert Ecology, Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Midreshet Ben-Gurion 84990, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irina S.","family":"Khokhlova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wyler Department of Dryland Agriculture, French Associates Institute for Agriculture and Biotechnology of Drylands, Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Midreshet Ben-Gurion 84990, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boris R.","family":"Krasnov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mitrani Department of Desert Ecology, Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Midreshet Ben-Gurion 84990, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","reference":[{"key":"2021042508595675900_JEB122812C1","first-page":"208","article-title":"Physiological adaptations to underground life: a case of mammalian neoteny?","volume-title":"Comparative Physiology of Environmental Adaptations","author":"Ar","year":"1987"},{"key":"2021042508595675900_JEB122812C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cbpb.2005.01.019","article-title":"The physiological and behavioral effects of carbon dioxide on Drosophila melanogaster larvae","volume":"140","author":"Badre","year":"2005","journal-title":"Comp.
