Body size changed differently between male and female sagebrush lizards over time, with females increasing more than males. Lizards also showed greater increases in body size in populations that experienced warmer and wetter climatic shifts. ABSTRACT Changes in body size are among the most frequently documented biological responses to recent climate ...

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...
