Sexual activity (mating) negatively affects immune function in various insect species, in both
sexes. In the experiments reported in this manuscript, we tested if hosts adapted to regular …

At the heart of eco-immunology lies the observation that host populations exhibit a high

Silicon (Si) fertilisation has received increasing recognition in recent years for ameliorating
biotic stresses in plants, including damage by pest herbivores. Si defences are effective …

The influence of temperature on interactions with pathogenic or symbiotic microbes is a
driving force behind the survival of insects under climate change. However, we know little of …

Physiological responses to short-term environmental stress, such as infection, can have long-
term consequences for fitness, particularly if the responses are inappropriate or nutrient …
