## Abstract We studied survival and development of preimagoes and the ability to withstand starvation of adults in two flea species, host‐specific __Parapulex chephrenis__ and host‐opportunistic __Xenopsylla ramesis__, when parent fleas fed on a typical (__Acomys cahirinus__ and __Dipodillus dasyur

We model the behaviour of a solitary parasitoid that can either eat a host or lay an egg on it. When the parasitoid does not die as a result of starvation, it should always lay an egg on a host. We compute the parasitoid's lifetime reproductive success in this case, and illustrate the effects of the
