The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response
Ecography, EarlyView.The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.In this research, GXP serves as a potent synergist for Metarhizium anisopliae in controlling cotton aphids. Its synergistic effect is achieved through two key mechanisms: first, by downregulating melanization protease 1 expression to inhibit phenoloxidase activity, thereby suppressing melanization; second, by reducing hypoxanthine levels, which ...

Virulence, 2020 A diverse family of metalloproteases (MPs) is distributed in eukaryotes. However, the functions of MPs are still understudied. We report that seven MPs belonging to the M35 family are encoded in the genome of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium ...

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2023 Insect humoral immune responses are regulated in part by protease cascades, whose components circulate as zymogens in the hemolymph. In mosquitoes, these cascades consist of clip-domain serine proteases (cSPs) and/or their non-catalytic homologs, which ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.
