Abstract
In pregnant females of the viviparous cockroach, Nauphoeta cinerea (Olivier 1789), mass specific metabolic heat flux was significantly reduced compared to males and non-pregnant females. This means that energetic demands during gestation do not translate into an increase in energy of metabolic rate. The reduction possibly cannot be put down to the fact, that the locomotor activity of N cinerea is considerably reduced during pregancy.
